If your vehicle is equipped with a PACCAR fuel blending valve, rotate the blending valve 90° counterclockwise to
the PRIME (closed) position (see "PACCAR Fuel Blending Valve Position") before starting the priming procedure.
The valve only rotates 90° left or right. Whether or not your vehicle is equipped with a PACCAR fuel blending valve,
