From where I'm from that looks like a half decent glass of 'central heating for tramps' (cider) and good enough to guzzle!



Gotta be said Andrew you do come up with some brilliant solutions and quick fixes.  If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

The home made one works

Removed and drained the filter. Here is the contents Check out the crap in the bottom of the glass.



This is the pump I made. As you can see there is only one connection on the 'tool' as I never connected the bleed tool in line. I simply placed the end of the pipe into a container to catch the fuel as it was pumped through. The other end was pushed into the female connector of the fuel line. It took about 2 minutes and about 2 pints of fuel before the fuel became air free.



Here is the Land Rover tool

A picture with dimensions of the male end of the home made tool. As you can see its smaller in diameter but it sealed. Obviously I would like to get an end that is the correct Ø



This is the location of the connector that the bleed tool fixes to. Push the blue tabs in and pull the connector off the feed to the fuel pump.



Disclaimer
If you your car up following these instructions its not my fault

Hi, I've bought a bleeding pump on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.it/DIESEL-ENGINE-FUEL-PRIMING-PUMP-/110475636037?pt=UK_Measuring_Tools_Levels&hash=item19b8dc6d45#ht_2098wt_912) the male connection has the same dimension of the land rover tool, only the transparent rubber pipe length is shorter.
But I have a doubt, can you explain me which is the correct direction of the fuel in the pump???? In my pump the direction is from the male to the female connection (there is an arrow on the pump..) while in the AndrewS post, I’ve understood that he take the fuel from an external tank and pump it in the fuel circuit across the male connection. this is just a problem of my bad English ??????
Ciao

Just for interest sake. I have replaced the diesel filter fiter about four times and I have never had to bleed the system at all. I just start the engine and let her idle for 3 minutes. Never had an air lock or anything like that. Engine has never missed a beat after starting after a filter change.

Did you fill the new filter with diesel before replacing it?

Here is my input (at 40 000 km) Cheers!

Is that from draining the filter in the rear wheel arch?
