Hi all,
In the courses I have taken, they always said to bleed after changing the primary and secondary fuel filters. I read on another site that if you are only doing this (working on the low pressure side of the fuel system) you do not have to. In fact, the mechanic I had working on the engine last year confirmed this - and he was very well trained.
When I changed these filters today, I filled them both with clean diesel and then ran the engine for 20 minutes after. In particular I ran the engine after I changed the first, changed the second, and ran again, all over 20 minutes each.
No problems that I could see.
Is this OK, or will air get into the injectors??
Thanks!
