purging air
Hi all, I have found my fuel spill pipes to be busted so have replaced them with clear for now. However a week later they still have some air visible how do I purge it? 300tdi on dino. Rhubarb and custard let fly with their secret weapon.

there may be air getting into one of the injector lines

Mine have had air in them for years without a problem. Truck ran fine even at well over legal limit on autobahn. Don't worry unless it is leading to rough running and poor starting.

It was a pain to start but with the new pipes its much better but still it is not first touch of the key. Will have a look at injectors and pipes at the weekend. Cheers all. Rhubarb and custard let fly with their secret weapon.
