Have someone crank the engine, while you bleed the injectors,
[the lines that goes to the cyl,s] till fuel starts squirting out at the injectors. Tighten them back up, [only do one at a time] then spray a SMALL amount of starting fluid into the breather,
Slacken bleed screw on top of fuel filter,hand prime the fuel lift pump until air stops coming out of bleed screw,tighten bleed screw. Then slacken bleed screw on fuel pump,hand prime the fuel lift pump,until the air as been bled from the system, tighten bleed screw,crank engine,if it does not start ,repeat performance.then it's bobs yer uncle & fannies yer aunt
Actualy you should start bleeding the system at the fuel filter or the component directly after the fuel tank following the flow downstream. That way any trapped pockets of air do not foul the procedures previouly taken.
Either manually pump fuel from the fuel tanks to the fuel filter, or else open up the fuel filter, and pour some diesel fuel directly into it.
Put diesel fuel in it !... Then either press the starter button or pull the starter cord !
Some where equipped with a diesel engine that ran on gasoline until it was warmed up.
It won't run without fuel. If it ran dry it may take some time to get to the engine.
Fill up the fuel filter with diesel fuel before you try starting it.
A diesel engine uses a high pressure fuel system,which means that it can't have air in it,it's kinda like the hydraulic brake system,if their is air in it,it won't work right. when you run a diesel out of fuel,it sucks in a bunch of air,which must be bled out of the system,in order for it to re-prime its self. if you don't get the air out,then,the diesel fuel will only travel up so far into the fuel line,until it is stopped by air,that's why a diesel is so hard to start after you run them outta fuel.
Diesel engines need to be primed when the have ran out of fuel. You should be able to find the primer either ontop of the fuel filter on near the inlet manifold
One of My co-workers ran out of diesel in a,2004,dodge 3500 Cummings truck and need to know if it can start without going to the mech.shop? Yes, on a 2003 and later all you need to do is add fuel, turn the key on and off about ten times to pump fuel up to the engine. It should now start.
i dont think it can run once it is out of diesel
Keep cranking use 15 second intervals of cranking followed by 15 seconds of waiting, with the fuel filter full of fuel, it will take three (3) of these cycles to get it to start. no need to loosen the fuel lines.
need to bleed the lines all the way to the fuel filter
Sometimes when you run a vehicle out of fuel trash in the bottom of the fuel tank can get picked up and clog the filter try changing your fuel filter and see if it will start.
