Anyway, your advice makes logical sense so I'll try that again and
hopefully, I'll have more luck.

Thanks again for your help.

------------------------

The procedure we used was like this:

One guy cranked the engine while the other slightly loosened the fuel line
nut until fuel started squirting out. You could see the air bubbling out as
well. While still cranking the engine, we'd re-tightened the nut, then
we'd move on to the next cylinder. Like I said, it took several times on
each line to get all the air out so the engine would stay running. In
fact, we killed the battery and had to take a break while recharging it
halfway through the process.

There may be an easier way, but neither of us were diesel experts. It
worked though.
