EllwoodJT Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Hi im new here but just joined because i need advice please. I've recently had the DPF static regenerated but at the same time the reading for the fuel delivery pressure was low so I bought a fuel filter £42 and fitted it myself ... All straight forward. .. i started the car fine and it it ran for 20 seconds i assume on what diesel there was in the rail but then stopped! It won't start again.i took the pipes off the filter and cranked the engine and there's no diesel coming out? Im at a total loss. Any suggestions would be much appreciated thank you.

iantt Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 There wont be any fuel out the filter with the pipes off, the fuel is drawn through via the high pressure fuel pump on the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllwoodJT Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 Ok that makes sense do I simply pump it in the 'arrow inward' pipe until it's full? Do I unscrew the plastic air bleeding cap if that's even what it is? Do I crank the engine? Any tips please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Brim the filter housing and make sure the seal is sound to avoid air ingress. I'd advise you have a booster pack or jumpstart handy as a fair bit of cranking may be needed and your battery will take a beating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
