Crack the lines loose @ the IP, when you start getting fuel tighten them down, then loosen the lines @ the nozzles, when you get fuel tighten the lines down and you should be good to go.

It's got HEUI like a Powerstroke. Just bleed out the bleeder at the filter with the hand pump, then crank with your foot to the floor, just like a mekanikal injected engine.

like an older powerstroke you mean? newer ones are oil pressure fired.
