Air in the lines?

Ryan_m83 · 10-03-2008, 10:00 AM

Quick question for ya, I'm putting a issopro mechanical guage in between the VP44 and fuel filter, am I going to have to bleed the system or will I just be able to pump the starter a few times to prime it up again? and if not which bolt do I crank to drain the air??
Thanks

what i would do to be safe, is bump the starter, to get the lift pump to prime, then, that should push your air out, and you should be good to go....

should i dont see no problem why it shouldnt, just remember to make sure you have all the air out, no fuel to the vp44= no lubrication, and she will kill over if you aint careful, always double check yourself, before you fire her off...

if you really want the air out of everything, i would crack the line, going into the feed tubes on the side of the block for the injectors, but yea, either was you can do it, just make sure all air is out of the truck... and she will fire right up...

Under the VP44 I see 6 lines that go to the injectors, not sure where on the side of the block your talking about :S

yea there is one line for each injector, also there is a test port on the pump, you can open it and prime the lp, any way you want to do it just to get the air out...
