SOURCE: Fuel filter replacement

First off you MUST buy the tool to do this, I bought mine at auto zone and it works great, the fuel lines are a snap on type and the ONLY way to release them is by using this tool, Be careful, the fuel will spray out when you release the line do not be smoking when you do this

SOURCE: air in fuel line between fuel filter and injection

Hi, before the pump it is a loose connection or maybe a pin hole in the pipe, check all the connections and pipes for seepage, after the pump it will be a leak, i knowit sounds the same but after the pump the fuel is under pressure. It would appear that your system drawing air rather than forcing air in. daveg

What can be the problem with my 1994 chevy silverado 2500 with the 6.5 turbo diesel engine once it reaches normal operation temperture when

If air gets into the Fuel line you will naturally have a problem. The fuel mix is incorrect causing a coughing effect, stutter, and hesitation. Hot air may expand in a line and create short bursts of fuel and then a gap whereby not fuel mist can ignite.

Engine cover removal on s-max

I would recommend loosening the fuel filter and then applying air for a compressor to the fuel tank and have someone watch for fuel filter and when it is full of fuel keep applying air and tighten the filter. check for fuel going through the line from the filter to the engine. Then have someone try to start it while still applying air the the tank which will help push the fuel. I used to do this all the time working on semi's and chevy express vans with duramax diesels.

1994 chevy 3500 6.9 diesel you drive it acs like running out of fuel half to bleed lines to get air out to start back up

sounds like u got a clogged fuel filter, or you have got a fuel line somewhere that is sucking air in, could be anywhere from the pump back to the tank, if that shows no luck, get a piece of clear hose and put that just before the pump and look for bubbles, the slightest of bubbles will cause it do run rough and stall
failing this and there is no air bubbles i would say your injector pump needs rebuilding but this is rather unlikely unless u have got a fair few miles on it


hope this helps

After replacing fuel pump and filt truck wont start with started fuid

If this is a diesel you should not use starter fluid unless the glow plugs and glow plug controller is removed. If this is a diesel you most likely have air in the fuel system.When changing fuel filter on a diesel fill the filter container with clean diesel,screw the top of the fuel filter canister on open the bleed screw and turn the engine over until only clear fuel (no air bubbles)is bled from fuel system. Then you may have to turn loose the connector on the innjectors to bleed more air out of the fuel system.
