G350B01HR-GAT BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel system should be bled to remove air as described in the illustra-tion if the fuel supply is exhausted during travel, when the fuel filter is replaced, or if the vehicle is not used fora long time.
1. Loosen the air plug at the upper part of the fuel filter.
NOTE: The fuel filter is located under the driver's seat. To bleed the fuel sys- tem, first tilt the driver's seatback forward. (Refer to "To Inspect theEngine Compartment Under the Driver's Seat." on page 1-12.) HHR4046
2. Pump the hand pump until there are
no more bubbles in the fuel coming out of the air plug. When doing this,place a cloth around the air plug to prevent the escaping fuel from spew- ing about.
3. Tighten the air plug when there are no more bubbles in the fuel.
4. Continue pumping until the hand
pump becomes stiff.
5. Finally, check to be sure that there is
no leakage of fuel.If in doubt, consult your nearest au- thorized HYUNDAI dealer. HHR4047
