Bleed the fuel line
This is a two man operation. Place rags under the bleeding points to catch flow of fuel.
1.The fuel system should be bled to remove possible trapped air from the system before first use and after each fuel filter, fuel tank flushing, or general service of the diesel generator. Note: Place rags at the bleeding points to capture spilled fuel.
2.Turn the fuel valve to the off position. Top off fuel tank with fresh diesel fuel. Slide the hose clamp away from the fuel pump end. Loosen the hose at the pump to allow fuel to bleed
out. Turn the fuel valve to its open position. Depress the decompression lever and while holding it down crank the engine for a few seconds at a time. Fuel and trapped air will emerge from the line and as soon as just fuel flows without traces of air, push the fuel line back onto the intake of the pump and stop cranking the engine. Reattach the hose clamp. Note: Never crank the engine more than ten seconds at a time. Allow at least one minute prior to further cranking.
3.Using two wrenches, hold the injector with one and back off the steel feed line nut with the other wrench. Repeat the above mentioned flushing cycle to bleed the air from the injector. Wipe all spilled fuel from the engine and components. Note: Do not close the fuel valve with the engine running. This may only be done for the intention of shutting the engine off should the fuel
