Diesel fuel system, bleeding

Never let the tank run dry! If control
indicator Y illuminates, refuel as soon as
possible. Refuel immediately if it flashes.
If the tank is allowed to run dry, the diesel
fuel system must be bled. Switch on the
ignition three times for approx. 15 seconds
at a time. Then start the engine for a
maximum of 40 seconds. Repeat this
process after no less than 5 seconds. If the
engine fails to start, seek the assistance of
a workshop.
