I'm replacing my diesel fuel lines from both tanks to the fuel filters. I'm wondering what is the best way to get the air out of the new lines before I start the engine.
Any help appreciated
Thanks
 
Use a cheap 12 volt electric fuel pump and install the suction side just before your Racors or engine fuel filter. Use a coffee can or equivalent on the outlet side. Once you have the air out, remove the filter and bleed the filter. A pump should be less than $20. Look for about a 3-7 psi universal pump.
