4. Apply a light coat of engine oil to the surface of
the filter gasket.
5. Install a new filter in the filter head and
secure it with the spring clamp.
6. Bleed the fuel system, using the following pro-
cedure.
BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM
Air must be removed from the fuel system after the
fuel filter has been changed, other fuel system com-
ponents have been serviced or the engine has run
out of fuel.
To bleed the fuel system, use the following proce-
dure:
1. Loosen the bleed plug on the filter head.
NOTICE
If the hand-operated lift pump lever does not pump
fuel, use the starter to rotate the engine 1/4 turn so
that the cam-actuated lever is not on the high side
of the lobe.
2. Use the lift pump lever to manually operate
the fuel lift pump until no more air bubbles
are present in the fuel flowing at the bleed
plug. Return the lift pump lever to the storage
position.
3. Tighten the bleed plug.
WARNING
Do not bleed the high pressure lines when the
engine is hot. Stand clear of any moving parts
or drive belts that could cause injury.
4. Loosen the fittings on the high pressure lines
at the four injectors.
