Not sure what this bloke was up to but I just filled mine with diesel using a small funnel I pinched from the kitchen. Filled it until the diesel overflowed, then refitted everything. Worked fine.

Almost, but there are times when the system is empty - following a repair, for example - and you need to fill it with diesel. What he has done is the old method in the book... Works fine on the old systems. The thing is that those injectors need a back pressure of about 10 bars in the hydraulic chamber in order to work properly and that unscrew/screw pipe stuff is therefore useless. You just need to disconnect the return pipe too and pump the way he has done it, but with the pump installed in series with the feed line, until diesel will come out through the return pipe. It's a long process, with a lot of hard hand pumping - because of the small passages in the high pressure pump and the rail return valve -, but at least you will spare the engine of all that useless cranking... |
