Bleeding The Fuel System...is there a better way?
I just finished winterizing my 2002 1GM10 Yanmar Diesel (that runs on
a Menger 19' Cat boat) and think there must be a better way of bleeding the fuel system. For the past three seasons I have changed the water seperator and paper filter on the engine at the end of every season. Then I begin the huge task of pumping the Raycor water seperator for the next hour until fuel starts flowing into the engine. After that I start pumping the lever on the oil pump (1 hour). Once I get fuel into the lines the rest of the bleeding goes very easy. My hand afterwards is sore and battered! I have tried cranking the engine for short bursts with the compression lever up (this does not seem to help). Is there anyway to prime or help this process along the way? |
