Bleeding Diesel Fuel System On a Mercedes MBE 900 Diesel Engine

http://schoolbusmechanic.blogspot.com Bleeding diesel fuel system on a Mercedes MBE 900 diesel engine using a Kent Moore J-47912 diesel fuel system bleeding tool. Bleeding diesel engines is much easier when you have the right tools. The main purpose of pressurizing the fuel system is to bleed diesel fuel lines which gets rid of all the trapped air. Air compresses so it will not help when trying to crank over the engine and start it back up if you run the engine right out of fuel. If you want to learn how to bleed a diesel engine just watch this video to see how easy it can be. Of course I have to re-emphasize that you need the right tools to do this especially with newer diesel engines. Years ago all that was required was to pump up the fuel system with a hand operated device attached to the engine and crack open the injector fuel lines. That method for bleeding diesel fuel systems is old school now and makes a big mess contaminating the ground.
