Finished putting everything back together and went to prime the system.
No amount of pumping on the fuel filter pump seems to work.
I decided to change the filter as I had one and I wanted to see the state of the diesel. It was -17c last night and -10 as I was working today. No problem there, I was expecting it to be more viscous or something, but all good.
If I undo an injector pipe, I'd hope to pump until fuel came out, replacing the air in the pipes. Unfortunately nothing.
If I take the line from the filter to the engine off and pump, I also get no fuel I can feel air being blown and if I press my finger to the pipe it is sucked in slightly by a vacuum (not strong) if I pump the pump.
Am I missing something obvious, or being stupid or is something not working correctly?
