fuel filter on 95 freda
ive been looking at bleeding air from my 95 freda and the filter housing has no pump mechanism on top of it how do i pump the air that i hope is present out in this case? there is basically a flat metal cap on top of the filter housing.

Just as Brora has said just fill the filter with injector cleaning fluid.brorabongo wrote:Miy filters the same afaik, and I amungst others have just filled the filter with injection cleaner when replacing, so there little to no air in the system to begin with.
Lost without my Bongo.
Re: fuel filter on 95 freda
You don't even need to fill the new filter with injector cleaner or diesel -- the system bleeds itself. At most the engine will stumble a little after starting with air in the filter. It's a much nicer system than my 1982 VW T2 1.6 diesel had, for which the owner's manual stated that a special tool was required to bleed air out of the fuel system after the system had been opened.
