DIESEL FUEL IS HARMFUL TO SKIN. MAKE SURE THE RELEVANT PERSONAL
• Ensure the main fuel tank is clear of dirt and water.
• A separate water trap must be fitted to all engine installations. The engines are
supplied with an additional fuel pre-filter water trap as standard.
• Connect fuel feed return hoses from engine to main supply and return lines to main
fuel tank, ensuring they are connected the correct way around.
• Connect the inlet to the electric fuel pump inlet hose.
• The engine hoses are supplied with 10mm (3/8") OD metal hosetails and should be
securely fitted to the main supply and return pipes with compression fittings.
• The engine hoses should have sufficient slack to absorb engine movement without
placing strain on the hoses and be securely clipped to prevent accidental damage and
chafing.
• Initially fill the fuel system by loosening the bleed screw on the top of the primary fuel
filter / water trap. Turn on the ignition to operate the electric fuel pump. Close the bleed
screw when fuel begins to flow clearly (no bubbles). The rest of the process is done
automatically by the engine. It is rarely necessary to bleed the injection pump or
injectors upon installation as the engine will already have fuel in it from the engine run
in and test procedure.
THE PART CIRCLED IN Figure 13 IS NOT A BLEED SCREW. ATTEMPTS TO UNDO
OR REMOVE IT WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PART.
