I suggested this method when Azitizz said that he had had similar troubles, and that no amount of pumping seemed to prime his engine. Try it, as long as you don't go overboard with the air pressure, what harm have you done. If it's going to work you should know very soon after you crack open the banjo bolt. Good Luck, Dave

What about the air that might be trapped between the banjo bolt and the injectors? If you tighten the banjo bolt while fuel is seeping out from the tank pressure, would you not eventually see fuel coming out of the injectors as well?
I thought that might be the case but I waited quite a while and if the fuel traveled at the same speed as it did to get to the banjo bolt It would have come out of the injectors long ago. But nothing.
Does the injection pump have to be cranking in order for fuel to get to the injectors or could pressure ffrom the fuel tank do it?
