Your video reminded me of the DOT that stopped me on the M4 I was driving an old ford transit recovery flat bed that I had fitted a 3L v6 to do this I had to use the diesel front. The DOT stopped me and asked if they could check my fuel I agreed and they sucked fuel from the tank but because it was petrol in a diesel testing kit it melted their test equipment. They asked to test my fuel but they did not ask to check my diesel. Spoilt their day good news.
I have watched your video and bought one of these syringes I’ve accidentally put unleaded fuel in my diesel I have a 1.8 TDCi Mk1 Ford Focus, Just after some advice I was thinking because I’ve only just started it it started to die would I be correct in unclipping the petrol tank feed sucking everything out of the petrol tank then adding say five or 6 L of good diesel and then attaching this syringe to the return back to thank Pat Pike the little one
Thanks for this vid it gives me hope for future repairs. I hate messing with diesel lines because I know it's going to be a sod to start afterwards, I have a vauxhall with 1.7cdti the thing operates on a suction style set up no uplift pump in the tank, had an injector go so replaced it programmed it in with tech 2 but no go, never again until I can find a way to make them start quicker, it was a complete nightmare to get going tried everything even easy start to try and force it to bleed, engine ran fine on easy start but soon as you stopped the engine shut down, after much cranking it did eventually go but feck me! getting worried was a understatement! I have a Mazda 2.2 D with leaking injector seals, but luckily there is a primer bulb on the fuel filter so fingers crossed I wont have any issues.
For cars withour an uplift pump just take a rag and pressurize your tank via the fuel fill hole. It will push fuel all the way up your inj pump and help bleeding by a lot
Another practical tool for the workshop. For the DIYer a funnel and some plastic tube of appropriate dimensions and allow the filter to gravity fill with fresh fuel? Glad your past that BMW wheel stud nightmare...geez lucky you have a sense of humour.
tecnaman, yeah that's exactly what I did with my 2009 Focus TDCI when I changed the filter. Actually used an old 2 litre coke bottle with the base cut off, suspended it a few feet above the engine bay to give a good 'head' ( that's what she said ) and cranked for not long at all before it fired up beautifully. Sometimes the crap you have lying around will do the trick ;-)
I was hoping your pit bull would have grabbed it and ran off with it and then you could have played Benny Hill music as you were chasing after him HAHA. Love new tools that make a hard job easier!!
Long time no post. I must thank you for your advice regarding a 2005 VW Passat with drivers door intermittently not unlocking with remote, electrical between door and car living did the trick. So a much more general question this time around. Can you recommend a specific model car as being low running costs, good mpg, reliable and doesn't cost an arm and a testicle when things do happen to go wrong? And is there a mileage where you say it is too much, or don't bother? A lot of questions, and every mechanic will have their own opinion, but seeing as you are in the public eye, you might give a true and honest opinion! Cheers big ears!
Aidan Conlon hi that is a really difficult question because it depends on lots of things budget taste what type of car you actually prefer what type of car you need depends on your journey do you do long journeys do you do short journeys but Ford are one of the cheapest cars to repair on the road lots of them easy to get parts for if you don't do long journeys just stay with the petrol as diesels can have a lot more problems and more expensive to fix especially the newer ones
Great video. And no profanity . Much better man than I Sir. Tried the link but can't find the product FYI. A new affiliate link would be great. Love to see you get a bit for your efforts. Thanks again
Cheers mate, I have a question though ,I have to fill my fuel filter on a ford fiesta 1.4 tdci 2008 I know what to do to get it filled and bleed the return, My question is to you when I suck the fuel through to fill the filter using my vacuum pump do i have to turn the ignition key to a possition so It opens up the car fuel pump, or no need just leave ignition off untill all bleeding done,
I like the idea and the giant sucker thing too :) Ok I have to start up my 2 cylinder kubota diesel engine that is in storage - a common rail and everytime it takes quite a bit of cranking to get the fuel pump to fill the injector tubes as I open the bleeder tap on it. On the return side could I use a suction and pull the fuel up to the rail as well from the last downstream return connection . Never thought about it till now - hey Leon this might be a vid of yours I could use. LOL
bodgit and leggit garage ok like ya haven't helped me out yet - wth is going on , would your idea work for what I wanted to do. Ok Leon I was expecting a confirmation it would work or not - get with the program eh . HAHA
very handy piece of kit , could you also after fitting the new filter pull the diesel through it while having the return to the tank blocked off at the top of the filter .
@@duggy788 it's extremely important to know the condition of the diesel if you got bad diesel and you can catch it in time it can save you thousands of pounds in new pumps and new injectors
o I know, I worked as a mechanic for about 20 years im just saying if you were doing a regular filter change with no engine issues, i'm not knocking your work , keep up the good work . @@bodgitandleggitgarage
How would I use this to remove unleaded petrol I put in my tank by accident, would I attach it to the pipe coming from the fuel tank suck all the contaminated petrol and diesel oil out then put fresh diesel in the tank then attach a syringe to the return back to tank pipe the one with a smaller diameter on the fuel filter so then I will be sucking fuel good diesel from the tank through the fuel filter checking the old contaminated fluid out and sucking all the fluids in The fuel rail your advice on this would be gratefully accepted
You didnt need to prefill the syringe. Just put the new filter in, connect the line from tank to the new filter, Connect the syringe to the filter port that goes to the engine and pull the handle. This will pull fuel out of the tank into the filter and up into the syringe. You stop pulling when there are no more bubbles coming up into the syringe. Then disconnect the syringe and connect the line going to engine.
Like I explained in a video you can check the state of the diesel in the syringe you put a brand new filter on you then syringe it through and you realise your diesel is contaminated you've just wasted money on a new filter I explain all this in the video why not do it this way and you 100% sure you will not damage or filter not even that you can spend thousands of pounds if you damage your injectors or your pumps because of bad diesel
Yeah I realised that after I posted, tried to delete... I always used to blow the fuel out of the old filter in reverse direction into a glass bottle to see how much crap was in it and to show the customer. Although that wouldnt indicate the condition of the fuel in the tank.
@@RIPPERTON you should always cut the Old filter this way you can see if there's any metal in it this will also give you an indication to how your injectors and fuel pump is
OMG!! Could have used one of these a month or so ago after servicing an SMax. Two flat batteries, flat jump pack, hot jump leads later we had to give her a bit of puff (brake cleaner) in the intake to get it bled. It cost us probably an hour and a half, all for the sake of not fitting a hand primer in the system..........sometimes I hate modern cars......
Hi mate you don't really need to bleed the injectors as such what happens is as long as your diesel filter is full the injectors are pre-filled and the pump will draw the diesel from the filter but what you can do if you want is you can loosen the the feeder pipe going into the injectors which will get the air out but that is a long and messy process once the filter is full it would draw into the injectors and all the air bubbles will come out the return of the injectors
really here i was thinking i had to do filters + injectors... Ssangyong stavic 2.7l turbo diesel with delph injectors... trouble starting it but your vid made sense of my problem thanks a million your a legend.
wyattoneable thanks a lot mate much appreciated it certainly a handy one to have and there are American company so you'll be able to get one night in Easy
I Changed injector copper seals on my peugeot 206 1.4 HDI, and solved the compression leak, but i think there is air in fuel system as the car won't start. Any help
Hi mate there is loads of ways of bleeding your system the first one is I show it in the video with the tool this is really good especially if you want your own if not you can open up each of the injectors and start the engine and wait for the bubbles to stop this can be very difficult and can cause problems and can wear down your battery that's why I showed in this video this tool which is so much simpler and easier to use
Interesting! We have a 2011 Polo 1.2 TDI which has the CFWA Common Rail engine which apparently needs both the lift pump on the tank and the pressure pump on the engine activated by the likes of VCDS to prime the fuel system after a filter change. Does this product cater for diesel common rail engine fuel systems?
The car used on in the video was coming round it all depends on the car all that system doors on your car is to fill the diesel filter housing this will still fill the diesel filter housing so as long as you can fill the housing it will work on any car so depending on the car you might need to fill the syringe separately full of diesel and just squirt it straight into the diesel filter housing rather than trying to suck it from the tank all depends on the car
Hi, kind of new to this, but I learn as I go. I tried to start my 2.2 tdci mk3 with the new filter dry, probably got lots of air now in the system. The nut by the injector ain't giving me no diesel while cranking it, and sometimes it does. Could this weapon of choice help me troubles? Tried cranking it several times and been charging the battery on and off for a week now.
Hi mate you always always need to fill the filter whether you do it before or after you fit it doesn't really matter but the filter has to be filled then you can open the injectors and turn the engine until the fuel comes out of the injectors these engines can be an absolute nightmare to bleed you might have to fill the fuel filter a few times open each injector a time once they are stops and the fluid comes out clothes that injector and try the next one
Hi buddy. A question, where the hell is the pollen filter on a 2006 transit mini bus please. I’ve look and stripped mere back to bulk head lol. Can find it.
After watching your vid I brought one on line looks identical with the attachments I watched you fordfiest service. One that was also great as at the minute my car is not starting I took the back hose of no sign of any fuel can you tell me if I turn the key and start to crank should deists come from tank I am not us d to a diesel as never had one brought for daughter for Christmas 3500 and can’t give it to her as the next morning it wouldn’t start thought it was bad glow plugs changed he four what a job turned the car over started straight. away two hours later hard to start I got it started drove up road car engine stoped would not start that’s when I check d any fuel going to filter any help would be great dose the Diesel engine have a pump like petrol
Hi mate these diesel Mondeos are a nightmare to start there's no pump in the back so you have to prime it yourself with the tool that you brought you can do this
Can't you just install the new filter then connect the syringe to the connector that feeds the engine suck it threw till it's fills the filter and into the syringe that way no air ?
Hi mate the problem of doing that is like explaining the video if you've got dirty diesel or anything wrong any bits floating in your diesel it's going to go straight through and destroy your new filter some filters are very very expensive and it would just be a waste of money
@@bodgitandleggitgarage very true mate worth the extra couple of minutes just to be sure i bought one the other day to add to my box can't wait to use it great videos oh and iam going to buy the crp429c what a piece of kit much better and simpler than any snap on one's I've used

@@bodgitandleggitgarage thanks for the reply, forgive me for probably asking something silly. Is the fuel system bled right through to the injector? When you push the fuel through the filter after you've eliminated the air, the remaining air will go back through leak off pipes?
@@brickpug6088 hi mate once the filter has got fuel in it and it's full to the top the engine will do the rest of the work for you sometimes you might have to fill up a couple of times but once injectors get the fuel to it on the return of the injectors it will kind of bleed itself from there
The air only matters because and when you've got half a litre of air in the filter, pre filling the filter cuts out bleed time, by A LOT. The volume of the feed pipe is what, 20ml of air?
I am getting fuel to my filter snd past it to my injection pump... its the only pump on the car, old school mechanically injected. How can I get the air out of the lines between pump and injector? Can I just use ether and run it for a minute or two?
@@bodgitandleggitgarage tha ks man!! I will be giving that a try tomorrow. I thought I mightve been able to get away if I just put a can of starter fluid through it til it started sucking on its oqn
Hi mate I don't agree with you on that it's not that expensive and a hell of a lot cheaper than replacing your high pressure pump I've seen people damage high pressure pumps because they don't know what they are doing or how to bleed a system with this it's easy and a hell of a lot cheaper than high pressure pump
Steve Ashcroft right and in doing that you still haven't checked the diesel if you then find the diesel to be contaminated you have just wasted money on a very expensive main dealer filter there is no need to do this if you do it the way I said
Hi there I've recently had a new engine fitted in my ford fiesta 58 plate as my timing belt slipped. I have a mechanic who does cars in his spare time he is having trouble trying to get the diesel from fuel tank to the fuel filter. He has told me that he's tried forcing the fuel through to filter with a compressor baring in mind I know nothing about cars I'm only going with what he is telling me. I am wondering if anybody has any ideas or suggestions.thank you
Marie Wells hi mate there's a couple things you can do sounds like you maybe have a blockage in your fuel tank the first thing I would do is disconnect the pipe from the filter to the fuel tank try and blow through it see if you can if you can go through it you know you have a blockage in your fuel tank you might have a valve in your fuel tank that is broken off the top of my head I cannot remember exactly what is in your fuel tank but that's one of the first things to do
Thank you, I forgot to say before putting new engine in the car was also serviced so it's a new fuel filter that's been put in to I was told that apparently Ford's are bad for getting fuel to fuel filter. Thanks mate
ive seen chrisfix do it but his priming method is connect everything, then ignition on for 5 seconds off on for 5 off on for 5 off start the car, will that work?
maybe that works on petrol cars , my fuel pump needs doing seems its something i dont have the tools for so gonna need to go to the garage, to get it done, revs are cutting out on me at 3-4000 and its only gonna get worse
@@cristianojoana1898 I didn't take any offence mate I just said there's more than one way to skin a cat so your way works and this way works I did not take any offence whatsoever I like people telling me and suggesting new things

The air only matters because and when you've got half a litre of air in the filter, pre filling the filter cuts out bleed time, by A LOT. The volume of the feed pipe is what, 20ml of air?
Really helpful video. Cheers buddy
Do you remember the 90's Peugeot Diesel used by everyone had that silly little squidgy hand primer under the bonnet for priming.
lol yes i do mate
CanI ask a question? What is the mettle strip on a mk7 transit 2.4 d inside fuel housing, what does it do?
nice one Leon from Ireland
thanks mate
Great vid Leon I use one for fuel and the other for gear oil great tools
Vdubs 60 yes I definitely want to get the oil one can see a lot of advantage of that too
I am getting fuel to my filter snd past it to my injection pump... its the only pump on the car, old school mechanically injected. How can I get the air out of the lines between pump and injector? Can I just use ether and run it for a minute or two?
Hi mate on each injector you will see a metal pipe you need to loosen one at a time until you start seeing diesel come through
@@bodgitandleggitgarage tha ks man!! I will be giving that a try tomorrow. I thought I mightve been able to get away if I just put a can of starter fluid through it til it started sucking on its oqn
Very nice channel and nice video.
Nice new gadget, does what it says on the tin. Cheers Leon
125 SM thanks mate
Great piece of kit but expensive for the home mechanic it’s ok for a working garages but I personally would find it hard to justify the cost
Hi mate I don't agree with you on that it's not that expensive and a hell of a lot cheaper than replacing your high pressure pump I've seen people damage high pressure pumps because they don't know what they are doing or how to bleed a system with this it's easy and a hell of a lot cheaper than high pressure pump
are the seals strong enough for brake fluid? thanks in advance ...
Now that's a handy tool, Good video Leon 👍
yes it is mate
Great video..
I would have fitted new filter then put the syringe on the outlet to the engine spout then pulled the diesel right through the filter.
Steve Ashcroft right and in doing that you still haven't checked the diesel if you then find the diesel to be contaminated you have just wasted money on a very expensive main dealer filter there is no need to do this if you do it the way I said
Steve Ashcroft he is right mate
great video that's me sorted for next job 👍
Daniel Robinson lol
u.s pro syringe - did not work could not pull any fuel few. ???????
ford filters - simply fill to the brim then replace job done
Works every time on the mk3, not on the mk4 though
Yes another great vid
Thanks mate
good tool great video.
Put ignition on suck out of fuel return on filter
Ok thanks mate keep up the good work
thanks mate
great video you got it SORTED lol thank you pal
How much is the syringe?
another great video,,,,,,,,,,,,,,keep up the good work
thanks mate
Hi will this work on a 2010 mk4 mondeo.sound job.
yes mate
@@bodgitandleggitgarage sound out sham
Hi there I've recently had a new engine fitted in my ford fiesta 58 plate as my timing belt slipped. I have a mechanic who does cars in his spare time he is having trouble trying to get the diesel from fuel tank to the fuel filter. He has told me that he's tried forcing the fuel through to filter with a compressor baring in mind I know nothing about cars I'm only going with what he is telling me. I am wondering if anybody has any ideas or suggestions.thank you
Marie Wells hi mate there's a couple things you can do sounds like you maybe have a blockage in your fuel tank the first thing I would do is disconnect the pipe from the filter to the fuel tank try and blow through it see if you can if you can go through it you know you have a blockage in your fuel tank you might have a valve in your fuel tank that is broken off the top of my head I cannot remember exactly what is in your fuel tank but that's one of the first things to do
Thank you, I forgot to say before putting new engine in the car was also serviced so it's a new fuel filter that's been put in to I was told that apparently Ford's are bad for getting fuel to fuel filter. Thanks mate
Marie Wells not if it's blocked
bodgit and leggit garage thank you
Very useful.
BUT, will it suck a golf ball through a garden hose????
Malcolm Young that's my next video lol
ive seen chrisfix do it but his priming method is connect everything, then ignition on for 5 seconds off on for 5 off on for 5 off start the car, will that work?
Martin Cooper absolutely pointless putting the ignition on there is no lift pump in this particular engine will make no difference at all
maybe that works on petrol cars , my fuel pump needs doing seems its something i dont have the tools for so gonna need to go to the garage, to get it done, revs are cutting out on me at 3-4000 and its only gonna get worse
That won't work on a Mondeo because it has no electric pump in the fuel tank, a mechanical pump pulls diesel up when engine is running
Steve Ashcroft with a car with a lift pump in the tank you do not have any problems bleeding it's a self bleeding system
Yes I know, I was explaining why Chris Fix was seen switching ignition on for a few seconds then off and back on.
When your done you can use it as a terkey baster lol
Slicker than owl poop.This ought to streamline filter maintenance.
Eric Corse hahah
Eric Corse yes mate work Smarter not harder
Is that any good for colonic irrigation?
WhitwellMike B call down we will film it and we will see
It makes a really cool noise too, I want one just for that.
hahahahaah
15:34 that's what she said!
LOL!!
hahahaha
Just buy a ebay 8e manual prime pump then connect 1 side to filter outlet and other to the outlet tube and you good to goo 30secnds.
There's more than one way to skin a cat
@@bodgitandleggitgarage no offense by the way but thats how I do it ! i learn a lot from your videos mate! thanks for that!
@@cristianojoana1898 I didn't take any offence mate I just said there's more than one way to skin a cat so your way works and this way works I did not take any offence whatsoever I like people telling me and suggesting new things
Helping each other thats is best way !
lol my mechanic said it can take 8 hours to find it
Sorted!!
thanks mate
all i saw was air being pushed in Pat
First comment
Brendan Brady fan hahahha
bleeding awesome
MRPAD744 hahaha love it
Why are your eyes red
Maybe he has been physically testing too much diesel with them.
What happened your eye?
Eoghan Donnelly ???
bodgit and leggit garage it just looks like your right eye is a bit red as if you got something in it.
Eoghan Donnelly no mate all is good with the two eyes well I think so anyway LOL
Jesus yet another review! 👎
Tony Lanceley just trying to show people different ways of doing it with different tools don't see the problem if you get stuck in something and you go onto UA-cam and find a review on how to do it what is your problem
