Car just died on me today. No clue why... looked under hood and the glass prefilter was empty of fuel but clean as a whistle. It sorta just ran out of fuel even though its got 3/4 of a tank. Purged everthing with the hand pump, then it was hard to start. I assume still air in the systemt and then it started. Glad I have a good battery

luckly it broke down in the parkinglot next to my house. I drove a tiny bit after purging of air and it seems fine.

Once home I let it sit, 20min and was hard to start again. Did this hard to start routine yesturday on the first start of the day. It then it worked fine all day after that. I'm going to wait till morning and see if the prefilter is empty or has bubbles in it.

There goes my plan of chasing wild woman in the yucky smoke filled bars tonight. Coursee.... I could allways drive the Unimog!!!

Any suggestions? no it does not have an elec. fuel pump.
