For vehicles with cruise control, you can prime the
vehicle and remove the air from the fuel system. The
following procedure will show you how:
1. Make sure there is fuel in the fuel tank.
2. Make sure the specified fuel filter is properly
installed.
3. Make sure the fuel lines are securely connected.
4. Make sure the fuel filter is cool to the touch.
5. Use a clean cloth to remove dirt and oil from the
fuel filter head and breather valve.
6. Use the palm of your hand to repeatedly press and
release the plunger (1) at the top of the fuel filter
priming pump. Continue until the plunger resistance
becomes firm. This may take from 20 to 100 times,
depending upon fuel tank location.
7. Turn the fuel filter breather valve screw (2) left
(counterclockwise) several turns to open the
breather valve.
8. Use the palm of your hand to repeatedly press and
release the plunger (1) at the top of the fuel filter
priming pump until fuel begins to seep from
the breather valve.
9. Tighten the fuel filter breather screw (2) to the
specified torque, 4.9 Y (43 in lbs).
10. Use the palm of your hand to press and release
the plunger (1) at the top of the fuel filter priming
pump about 20 more times. This sends fuel to
the engine.
11. Use a clean cloth to remove any fuel from the fuel
filter and surrounding area.

few minutes.
