Can a purged fuel injection system purge air?
A properly-purged fuel injection system should dribble diesel fuel immediately out of the lines. If nothing comes out, this affirms there is air in the IP and/or lines. First, check to make sure you are getting fuel to the Schroeder valve on the diesel fuel filter. Read this article FIRST which explains how to check your Schroeder Valve.
How to remove air from fuel injected lines?
Locate your fuel tubing, and remove it. Once you have removed the tubing, clean it well and place it in a clear container filled with water. Blow into 1 end of the tubing and look for any bubbles in the water. If you see bubbles there are holes, and you will need to replace the tubing with new tubing.
When to torque down diesel injector lines and purge air?
As soon as possible, torque down the remaining injectors. Any delay will result in diesel fuel spraying all over the engine bay. There may be a few minutes of a rough idle, because remaining bubbles might need to work their way through the injectors. At this point, the IDI should be idling.
When to purge air from a fuel filter on a diesel?
Air can get into the fuel system after a fuel filter change or if the vehicle runs out of diesel. If there is air in the fuel system, do not continue to crank the engine until the system is full of diesel again. Park the vehicle in a safe and well-ventilated work area.

How can I get fuel to my injectors?
3- Follow the fuel hose up to the injection pump. There will be a small bleeder screw (10mm wrench) on the pump where the fuel line goes in to the pump. Loosen it and wait for all of the air bubbles to come out then tighten. You should be getting straight fuel to your injectors now.
How do you fix a bleed plug in a fuel pump?
Most all equipment has a hand priming pump lever to pump fuel through the system and replace trapped air. (Check operator’s manual.) Pump several times until full flow, without air bubbles, escapes from the bleed plug holes. 8. You may need to bleed filters, fuel pump and lines to the injectors.
