Fuel Tank Swap

<< < (2/3) > >>

Range Rover Blues:
Sorry I should have siad you will need to bleed the air from the fuel system.

Rangie3.0LtrDan:
OK, so this should be an interesting experience as its not a standard engine lol, but i thought diesel engines were self bleeding? or is that petrol? lol, i dont know, i am just going to cry into a corner, if anyone has any idea how to bleed the fuel system on a 3.0TD mazda engine i would be grateful! lol

dew1911:
We just self bleeded the 2.5TD if that's any help, just held it at constant revs (Not screaming) for about 20 seconds. Purrs nicely after that.

banditman:
Is it a mechanical pump or an electric one Dan?

Quickest way to bleed it is to loosen all four injector pipe nuts off on top of the injectors (at the end of the steel pipes where the injectors are screwed in to the cylinder head)

Then get someone to turn the engine over for you and the diesel will push the air out of the loose nuts.

All you need to do then is tighten them up when clean fuel comes out (rather than spitty farty stuff with air in....bit like when you bleed brakes)

This should work on any diesel (electric pump or mechanical) and will get rid of all the air at once, at the far end of the system.

You WILL get covered in diesel  :twisted:  :twisted:
