I just drained my fuel tank because of water in the diesel. After completely draining the tank and adding 10 gallons of fresh fuel I can't seem to get the fuel pumping back into the fuel line. The electric pump is operating but is not drawing fuel through the system. Any ideas, suggestions? I have emptied both the raycor and secondary filters and will replace with new once I have pure diesel flowing again. Thanks for any help. Randy Wells #4787

Two things

First, did you shut the fuel valve at the tank? Second, did you open the fuel bleed valve to let the air out of the line when the fuel pump is running? This may be the problem. Once I loosened the fuel filter instead of the oil filter when changing the oil. Quickly realized my mistake when fuel leaked out. Started the engine and it shut down in a few seconds because of air in the line. Bled off the air and it started right up.
