When the fuel has run out
(Bleeding the fuel system)
When the vehicle runs out of fuel and the engine
stalls, also when the fuel filter has been replaced, or
if water has been drained from the fuel filter, air that
has entered the fuel system prevents the engine
from being started even if the engine has been refu-
eled after running dry.
In these cases, bleed the fuel system by performing
the following steps.
WARNING
•
A fire could result if there is a fuel leak or if
spilt fuel is not removed. Always wipe off
spilt fuel after air bleeding. Also be sure to
check for fuel leakage.
•
The working space for air-bleeding is tight.
Be careful not to injure yourself on the
edges of nearby parts.
