Bleeding The Fuel System; Turning Off Engine Manually - Mercedes-Benz 300 SD-TURBO DIESEL 1983 Owner's Manual

Bleeding the Fuel System

A completely bled fuel system is
imperative for perfect engine opera­
tion. During operation, the system is
continuously bled via the over-flow
line.
The entire system must be bled
manually after the fuel tank has been
driven completely empty.
Note:
Disengage primer pump handle prior
to operating it (turn counterclock­
wise). Retighten after use.
First, fill fuel tank with fuel. Then
operate primer pump until the by­
pass valve on the injection pump
opens (hissing noise).
Practical Hints
