    It doesn't take that long if you crack open the red bleeder screw that he completely ignored.
    Most fuel tanks on refers have a Schroeder valve on top of the tank, crack open that bleeder and blow some air in the tank, it'll fire right up!

      Right....and I learned it has an air plug on the top of tank. A simple blow and you stop, by then you see fuel shooting out the front of trailer.

      Go to a dealer and be willing to learn and not get paid for it. Buy as many quality tools as you can and always ask for help then take notes. Study study study every single day non stop.

    what about air in fuel line?

    • @Nihilianth
      @Nihilianth Рік тому

      That's why you gotta prime it. To get air out of the fuel line, so that fuel gets into the fuel filter.

    Definitely add some 911 treatment to fuel if your going to be driving in freezing conditions!

    • @markm0000
      @markm0000 Рік тому

      911 is only for after fuel has gelled. Do not use it regularly it will destroy the high pressure fuel system as it reduces lubrication. Use the grey bottle that says antigel and you should be good. For very low temps double the dosage.
