Air Bleeding
EBS00BLB
After fuel filter is replaced and after fuel system components are
removed/installed, bleed air from fuel path as follows:
1. Move priming pump up and down to bleed air from fuel path.
2. When air is bled, pumping of priming pump becomes heavy stop
operation at that time.
3. Crank the engine until it starts. Do not crank the engine for more
than 30 seconds.
4. If the engine does not starts, stop cranking and repeat step 1
above.
5. If the engine does not operate smoothly after it has started, race
it two or three times.
6. If air cannot be bled easily (pumping of priming pump does not become heavy), disconnect feed-side of
hose between fuel filter and electronically controlled fuel injection pump. After that, operate priming pump
and confirm that fuel comes out.
CAUTION:
Prepare a tray to collect fuel. Prevent fuel from adhering to rubber parts, especially the engine mount
insulator.
Draining WaterEBS00BLC
1. Prepare a tray at the drain hose open end.
2. Loosen drain cock, and operate priming pump to drain water
from fuel filter.
CAUTION:
lCoolant in filter is drained with fuel. Prepare larger capacity
pan than fuel filter volum.
lDrained coolant is mixed with fuel. Prevent fuel from adher-
ing to rubber parts such as engine mount insulator.
3. After draining, close drain cock by hand.
CAUTION:
If drain cock is tightened excessively, it may be damaged and
fuel will leak. Do not use tools to tighten drain cock.
4. Bleed air in fuel piping. Refer toFL-16, "
Air Bleeding".
5. Start engine.

General Precau-
tions"
1. Disconnect battery ground cable.
2. Open fuel filer lid.
3. Open the filler cap and release the pressure inside the fuel tank.
4. Check fuel level on level place. If gauge indicates more than the
level shown in figure (full or almost full), drain fuel from fuel tank
until gauge indicates level shown in figure or below.
In case of fuel pump does not operate, take following procedure.
a. Insert fuel tube of less than 25 mm (0.98 in) in diameter into fuel
filler tube through fuel filler opening to draw fuel from fuel filler
tube.
b. Disconnect fuel filler hose from fuel filler tube.
c. Insert fuel tube into fuel tank through fuel filler hose to draw fuel
from fuel tank.
lAs a guide, fuel level becomes the position shown in figure or
below when approximately 15 liter (13-1/4 lmp qt) of fuel are drained from fuel position.
NOTE:
Adjusting fuel level is to prevent fuel from spilling, when fuel level sensor unit is removed.
