PT3000 dumper fuel system

[H Beam]

Hi guys, probably a silly question, is bleeding the fuel system on the pt3000 straight forward, guy looking at mine cant seem to get it bled.

Take a picture, usually there is a bleed screw/bolt before the injectors.. or just unscrew the last nut on the fuel rail.. as you turn the Ignition key to the first position (fuel pump running) or crank it forever any they sometimes go

How old is the dumper? Does she have a 422 filter with glass bowl?

Take the pipe off the bottom of the tank, to make sure fuel is coming out, muck can be drawn into the fitting sometimes blocking it.

Thanks for the speedy reply folks, no glass bowl on it, quite an age i would imagine, had the bottom pipe off and loads of fuel, have fuel up to the filter, cranked the life out it but nothing, i'll get a look tomorrow, thanks for ur help, H

assume it's a Benford you're talking about? Deutz engine? any banjos in the fuel lines .. could have a blocked gauze filter in one
may also have to slack the injector lines off to rid the air out of the lines .... perky 4/6 pots are terrible for it

100% right, blocked gauze, up and running, thanks for ur help

Hence the use of the good old inline filter FTF2909! But I have been on fuel issue jobs where every one has been to the same machine and put another inline in it! Although the first one in the line is already blocked and there is still a fuel issue, they cut further down stream and put another filter in(got big fuel problems now!)
