Fuel System Priming
Note: In order for the VM2.0S diesel fuel system to work properly, the fuel lines must be full of fuel and contain no air. If air gets into the fuel lines, it will be necessary to prime the fuel system to eliminate the air before operating the vehicle. Air could have entered the system in one of the following ways:
• | The vehicle ran out of fuel. |
• | The filter was removed for service or replacement. |
• | The fuel lines were removed or disconnected for servicing. |
• | The fuel pump was removed for servicing. |
• | The fuel filter water drain cock was opened while the engine was running. |
| If one or more of the above occurred, air has entered the fuel system and you will need to prime the system prior to operating the vehicle. |
- Turn the ignition key ON at 5 second intervals.
Note: Do not turn the ignition key to START. It could damage the injection pump.
- Turn the ignition key OFF and wait 3 seconds.
- Repeat steps 1-2, 6 or 7 times.
