Priming and Bleeding the Fuel System.

Under normal conditions, the fuel system does not require priming. Certain conditions
may allow air into the fuel system such as running out of fuel. Once this occurs, the air
must be bled before the engine will start or run smoothly again.
The engine fuel pump can only pump fuel, it can't pump air. Air in the fuel lines will make
it impossible to start your engine. Air bubbles can also damage your fuel injector and will
cause rough engine operation since the fuel being delivered is not a consistent flow. If
there is some air in the fuel delivery system it may take up to 15 minutes to naturally be
purged through. The engine may not run normally during this time.
Note: Not all fuel filter assemblies have the bleed screws on the top. You my have to
remove the rubber fuel line from the fuel pump to achieve the same thing.
Warning - Hot fueling of generator sets while they are operating presents a safety
hazard and should not be attempted. Hot engine surfaces and sparks produced from
