4.9 Removing air from the fuel circuit
If air enters the fuel system, it must be removed before the engine can be started.
Air can enter the system if:
• The fuel tank has been run dry or drained.
• One of the low pressure fuel pipes leaks during operation or has been disconnected.
• The fuel filters have been replaced.
WARNING:
Diesel fuel under pressure can penetrate the skin or eyes and cause serious personal
injury, blindness or death.
WARNING:
Do not open high-pressure pipe
connectors on the fuel system when
the engine is running. Wait at least 30
sec. after the engine has stopped. If
the jet of high-pressure fuel comes
into contact with your skin, the fuel
will penetrate the skin causing severe
injuries. Get medical help
immediately!
IMPORTANT:
In case of fuel filter changing, a bleeding
procedure is needed. Refer to the relevant
procedure.
