Just did the canister filter and all 3 filters in the motor (250 HPDI) and I tried to pump the bulb to fill the fuel lines, but I don't feel any fuel going through the bulb and it won't get firm. Is there a purge screw somewhere to bleed off the air?
Thanks!

Did you fill the water separator filter with fuel. That will make it much easier.
JUST fill filter with fuel and reinstall, then back down ramp and start motor it will self prime.[GONNA SPILL SOME FUEL INSTALLING]
I have a 175 hpdi and mine has a small purge valve on ths vst tank that looks like a tire stem it lets the air out of the vst tank . Fill the fuel water separator up with fuel that may help and it may take a few pumps to prime 30 to 40 pumps or so .
Thanks guys. Forgot to fill the canister filter. Knew that was too easy the first time. Now I have fuel all over me, but the line and filter is primed. Thanks to all!

Igun, I've been where you are. I've never tried filling filter after changing. But, if you have run motor recently before changing, just start motor and it will fill filter itself. You can also pump on bulb when it starts up and it will get firm fast. This always worked for me.
fill filter 3/4 to keep from spilling then primer ball after install
wild heethen i seen a post on the board that said prime before you start the motor if it has been sitting for a day or so its reel hard on the pumps if you dont. Over working the pumps (short pump life )
After I fill mine with fuel I put it in a zip lock bad while screwing it back on. If I spill any fuel it is captured in the bag.
Thanks. I didn't know that. I'll start filling the filter like you guys say.Originally Posted by Big J Mac
