Venting of the fuel system
To enable the engine to start, the fuel system must be vented after carrying out the
following:
Change of fine filter After cleaning the feed pump strainer In the fuel tank has been
run empty When fitting an injection pump If leakage or work has been carried out on
fuel pipes After long laying up periods
Venting is carried out as follows: (Regarding location, refer to Engine Component
Guide)
Open venting screw on the fuel filter about 4 turns. Be
observant for fuel leakage.
Pump up the fuel by using the hand primer until fuel, free
from air bubbles flows out. Close venting screw. If the pump
action is poor, turn the engine so that the cam driving the
pump changes position.
If the injection pump has been removed, or when first
starting a new engine, the injection pump must be vented.
Open the venting screw on the injection pump about 2
turns. Pump the hand primer until fuel free from air bubbles
flows out. Close the venting screw.
Loosen the injector's delivery pipe nut, push in the stop
control and put the engine speed control in the full speed
position. Press down the cold start button (M D 11 C only).
Turn the engine by using the starter motor until fuel flows
out from the delivery pipes. Retighten the delivery pipe nut
and start the engine.
