If fuel tank becomes empty
(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
When the fuel filter has been replaced, make
sure fuel does not leak from the filter or from
related parts. Any fuel leakage could cause a
fire.
