cheese30 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Hi All so my problem is I have changed the fuel filter on my Focus Estate 2007 1.8 TDCI and attempted to bleed the system via the Fuel filter after filling the fuel filter up with diesel first and there is no fuel coming through. I have tried bleeding it with the ignition on. I have tried easy start and the engine turns over but still doesn't start once I stop the easy start. I have placed a pipe in between the fuel filter and the inlet fuel line and no sign of fuel. the tank is half full Any suggestions greatly welcome please Thanks Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheese30 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 How do you go about doing that, thought that's what I was doing by bleeding the from the top on the filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wase16ll Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 start from scratch, remove the pipes from the filter, refill the filter with diesel through the inlet till you get no more in..reconnect the pipes, quick squirt of easy start to help. if engine dies then try just short bursts of the stater motor rather than long continous crank...above has never failed for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese30 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Thanks, I've done all that apart from starting with short bursts, il give that a try in the morning Is there a pump on the fuel tank? as I'm starting to think it's not pumping the fuel through to the filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wase16ll Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 get a hand pump (most good spares shops will have one) and fit between supply line and filter, with all pipes connected, open the bleed screw on the filter and pump till you have removed the air from the filter...quick squirt of easy start to help and that should do it.

martyntdci Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 have you replaced the little o ring that goes on the inside of the filter housing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
