Bleeding air trapped in the fuel line
Air bubbles may form in the fuel supply system after prolonged engine idleness, after
work on the fuel filter and fuel feed lines, or if the fuel tank is allowed to run dry. Air
may be present in the fuel feed pipes causing feeding difficulties.
Air must be bled before starting. Procedure:
1) Loosen the drilled screw on the prefilter lid (
A2
). Operate the fuel pump lever (

)
until the outgoing diesel is free of bubbles. Retighten the screw.
2) Repeat the operation described above for the revolving connection of filter (

).
Note:
If the fuel pump cam is on its highest position it is not possible to operate the lever: In
such a condition you must turn the engine shaft by 360°.
3) Repeat this operation on the connection nut (
D1
) of the thermostarter.
4) Loosen the high pressure pipes connection nuts (
