I know about the hand pump and know about pumping the fuel filter full, but how do I get all the air out of the rest of the lines to the fuel pump on the tractor. [Reply]   [No Email]

A leaf blower or a reversed shop vac will pressurize the tank enough to fill the filters and lines. [Reply]  [No Email]

The gas engines were 500hp Ford engines used in the T23 electric tank. We usually had a air problem when we changed fuel fiters on the Cummins. We took a fuel cap and welded a tube fitting on it and used low air pressure to force the air out. No problem starting after that. We would lower the air pressure on the regulator until 2 or 3 lbs were on the gauge. That fuel tank held 400 gallons of fuel, but the engines were mounted above the fuel tank. Hal [Reply]  [No Email]

Then bleed air from UPPER bleed screw on injector pump. THEN go to individual injectors, crack them open one @ a time and bleed there. You should start. If it runs rough, repeat until all air is out of system. If you ran it out of fuel, there's a fair chance you might have drawn dirt/water/ect into filters/past filters into system.
