How To: Bleed 6.5L Fuel System
. My lift pump is good, I had replaced #1 injector and relocated the ffm but got a little careless and hurried when purging the air from the new lines and filter. Was totally my own fault. Definitely won't let that happen again.
it just goes to open air. Mine was gone long ago. It just allows you to empty the fuel filter into a can or bucket when you drain out water or sediment.
The bleed valve gets bolted where I circled. The line that's pointing to the hose has diesel spitting out of it when the truck is running. I need to replace the hose with line cause it's dry rotted. The second picture I circled is what I think is the same hose but not positive.
The 2nd hose from the filter valve runs underneath the injection pump and hangs on a bracket on the thermostat housing. It has a small valve on top. So you bleed from the filter valve first, then the second valve hanging from the thermostat housing.
Fixed it! Had air in the IP. Injectors won't self bleed if there's air in the IP. Disconnected the return line and used a brake bleeder vacuum pump to suck out the air. Fired right up after that! Found that little trick on YouTube. Much later than sooner, figures.
