Hi guys
I've changed the diesel filter on my 120 - the old one showed it was doing its job but wasn't too bad - with a new one from Bosch (no cheapo parts on my cruiser) and I can't get it to prime. I've tried for several minutes and nothing! The various videos on YouTube make it look like a couple of dozen pumps and it's done. Took it out again and it is dry. There's about a quarter of a tankful of fuel. I can't easily try filling the filter via the inlet pipe with a funnel because I have no diesel lying around. I'd be surprised if there's a failure in the primer - this car is 100% reliable and never seems to need parts!
Any ideas?
