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.

To prime the fuel system:

  1. PY23231
    PY23231-UN-27JAN15

    PY23232
    PY23232-UN-20JAN15

    A - Switch, Key Ignition

    B - Electric Fuel Pump

    Turn the key to the ON position for 10 to 15 seconds. This will allow the electric fuel pump to prime the fuel system.



  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.
