Re-Priming the fuel system (Diesel engines only)
Occasionally, when an engine is new or has been run completely out of fuel it may be necessary to “reprime” the fuel
system. This is simply removing any air bubbles from the fuel line.
1. With the fuel tank full of fuel and the fuel tap “ON”, remove the fuel line
from the engine by using a pair of pliers to unclip the hose-clamp.
2. Allow fuel to flow out until there are no more air bubbles. This can be a
messy process souse an absorbent rag to catch all the fuel running out
of the line.
3. Push the fuel line back onto its connection point and re-fasten the hose
clamp.
4. Clean up any spilled fuel.
5. Attempt to start the engine.
