Does it pump fuel around the filter when being towed?

Power is nothing without control .

You need a priming kit (or someone with one).

I'd recommend brimming the filter with fuel too to eliminate airlocks.

A lot of priming and turning the engine over can be involved.

If you have recovery with homestart (or family member/friend who has) I suggest giving them a shout and telling a wee white lie.

Put it this way, even garages have problems with Ford diesel filters.

You'd think they would fit a primer bilb like Peugeot etc do.

Makes it much easier.
