Priming the Fuel System

The fuel system needs to be primed under certain conditions:

• Before starting the engine for the first time.
• After running out of fuel and fuel has been added to the fuel tank
• After fuel system maintenance such as changing the fuel filter and draining the water separator, or replacing a fuel system component.

2. NEVER use the starter motor to crank the engine in order to prime the fuel system. This may cause the starter motor to overheat and damage the coils, pinion and /or ring gear.
