w124 diesel pump

[GregZ]

Hi All,

I am new to the W124 (603.960) engine. As the car was out of diesel (like Bart Simpson would say: "I didn't do it") and I put some five gallons in it, I was looking for the manual hand pump to remove the air from the system. To my surprise where the pump is in my 300SD (on the side of the injector) there was just some kind of a connector. I tried to crank the car but the bubbles in the lines would not go away. So long story short: is there a hand pump, and if there is, where is it? If not, how is the fuel system vented?

Thanks for any and all the help,

Greg
