Hi all, I am a newbie to this so please forgive any lack of posting manners ! Just changed the diesel fuel filter as a treat for my Mondeo 1998 1.8td
- cannot get it to restart, it tries, but then nothing after the first brief sign of life, I read on here about problems with the hand primer leaking. I pump mine until it feels firmer (ooh eer missus) but wanted to know how many pumps does it normaly take after a filter change ? if I disconnect the top fuel hose from the primer pump should bubble free diesel be coming out as it is pumped ? is there any way of pulling a pipe further down the system to see if it bleeding air out ? last question to improve my understanding of the fuel system, if air is in the system from a filter change where does it go - how does it get out via a hand pump primer ? any help would be most appreciated, fingers crossed, jeff
