somekevinguy 08-26-2004, 09:50 PM My pre OEM filter is supposed to be arriving tomorrow and I was wondering how I bleed the system after I install it and later when I do filter changes. I am thinking that I will start it and then it will stall and then the air will be in the OEM filter and then I will follow the normal bleed process. Is that how it works? Mackin 08-26-2004, 09:58 PM Use the OEM bleeder as normal. Pump pump pump till you get clear fluid. Mac Dmaxcan 08-26-2004, 10:09 PM Works best if you fill the filters up before installing them. The first time I did it the other way and it is quite messy as the diesel is very bubbly for many pumps. chipper 08-26-2004, 11:33 PM If you don't fill them first it will take over 100 pumps,whew !! http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Dead.gif somekevinguy 08-27-2004, 12:08 AM wont i be getting a bunch of straight diesel out of the bleeder until the air makes it's way from back by the tank where I am going to mount the filter? Sounds messy. jholly 08-27-2004, 12:16 AM If you don't fill them first it will take over 100 pumps,whew !! http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Dead.gif I don't think I would fill the OEM filter, that unfiltered fuel goes straight to the injectorshttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Throw Up.gif The frame mount, yes, it gets run throught the OEM. Just my $0.02 worth, Jim | ||
