New fuel filter wont start
CRD 3.0
Got a ryco fuel filter Z712 and swapped it over from what looked like a filter that had never been removed..
Anyhow, can't seem to get the fuel up, connected all the hoses, tightend and priming but i can not seem to feel the fuel flowing.. Took off the inlet hose and primed with my thumb on it and fuel comes up after a while, soon as i put it back on the filter and prime more nothing, just air..
Is there a trick to this?
Thanks
Dazz

The filter is not sealing for some reason??. Faulty filter or seal? Does it work with the old one on?

Bit confused when you say you removed the inlet hose and you were able to get fuel up?
You should be removing the outlet hose, it will take many pumps to fill the filter. If you fill new filter before refitting it makes the exercise a lot easier, a lot less pumps.

Should have been a bit clearer.. Removed the inlet placed my finger over the hose to block and pumped the bulb and the fuel comes up.. Put it back on and the fuel wont flow

Patrol God
Since you changed the filter you may have cracked the fuel lines
thats all I can think of at this stage, re check all fittings

Did you fit inlet hose then remove outlet hose from filter only and then pump until fuel comes out?
Will take a while until filter fills up.
At the end of the day, all you have is yourself and all you need is your friends (and in our case our Patrol)

Replied to your post on the Club forum, Cobber
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

Sorry Nightjar, thought it was explained as well as I could.
Finally I got the fuel pumped up but its still not starting.. I think I have air in there cause sometimes when pumping i can hear the air sucking through the fuel..
Will have to resort in a mech..
Cheers.
