Priming Fuel System on a Mk 2 Dodge 50 Phaser / Turbo
Continued from handbook page45
To Vent the Fuel System
1) Although the fuel filter is self venting through a 0.5mm diameter hole, it
will be quicker to fill an empty filter by operating the fuel lift pump priming
lever after first loosening the fuel return banjo bolt. When fuel free from
air bubbles appears around the banjo, retighten bolt.
2) Set throttle to fully open position. Engine stop solenoid must be fully energised
by turning starter key to position "II".
3) Loosen the pipe union nut (A) at the fuel injection pump inlet. Operate priming
lever until fuel free from air bubbles appears around the threads, then retighten
union nut.
4) Loosen any two high pressure pipe unions at the injector end.
5) Operate starter motor until fuel free from air bubbles issues from both pipes.
Retighten both pipe unions.
6) Start the engine. If the engine stops after a short running period, there
may still be some air in the system. Reprime the complete system.
WARNING
When carrying out this procedure
great care must be taken to prevent fuel under pressure from contacting the
skin since it will penetrate with ease.
