Primer pump....help
Guys,
I need to change my fuel filters, but I want to know how to use the primer pump first. From reading other posts (and seeing pics) I'm pretty sure that I have the "old" style pump...but I can't figure out how to use it. Do I turn the white knob?...I have tried but it doesn't seem to want to move... Help me, Thanks Brian |

Turn the white handle counter-clockwise till it is all the way unscrewed, several turns. Pump many times, push all the way down, then screw back till tight, b4 starting car.

They are often real tight when they have not been moved in awhile. Mine pees fuel all over the place when I pump, they make a better newer version you do not turn, just pump. Been playing with mine all day....

JJ,
Thanks for the help...I figured it out. Of course, when I pushed on the primer, fuel went spurting everywhere. So i guess its time to order a new primer pump. |

primer pump
I guess it's nice if there is a diesel model that doesn't require opening any bleeder screws. But, if there are bleeders it's best to use them; both on the fuel filter cannister and especially on the injection pump.

Regarding reasons for fuel bleed back, failing braided line is sufficient in itself to cause bleedback in a 220D and I assume a 240D unless there is some radical difference in the two. Though, whatever differences in engines a leak in the supply or return line lends itself to bleedback, the degree only dependent on just how the whole system is physically constructed. |

Ralph..I repeat..There are NO bleed screws you need to open. If it makes you feel better to open what looks like a bleed screw, then go for it
The primer pump does NOT bleed the IP or anything ABOVE it.
