Why do you bleed the fuel system?
Vehicles and tools powered by gas that have been stored for awhile must have their fuel lines bled so any air is removed before being used again. Fuel lines containing air can cause the engine to not run properly.
What does bleeding an engine mean?
Often, engine starting problems, are caused by small amounts of air in the fuel. A common cause of this problem is when you run out of fuel, if this happens you will need to know how to “bleed” your engine, which rids the fuel lines of air, so the engine can start.
Do you need to bleed fuel system?
“Bleeding “ or “purging “ a fuel line means to remove any air that may be in the line from the fuel tank to the fuel system. This alows for a cleaner more steady fuel flow when initially starting an engine. This should only be required once after fuel line repairs are made.

What stage does bleed air come from?
Bleed air is compressed air taken from the compressor stage of a gas turbine upstream of its fuel-burning sections.
How do you get air out of fuel?
To purge air from the low-pressure side of the fuel system, open fuel-line unions and bleed ports downstream of the pump, one at a time, beginning with those closest to the pump, and continue pumping until fuel, and not air, runs out.
How do you prime a fuel system?
Prime the fuel system by turning the ignition on (Run position) for 30 seconds, but do not start the engine. This allows the pump to prime the system. Turn the ignition off, and then crank it for 15 seconds. If it does not start, repeat the first task and this one until it starts (cycle the key).
What is airlock in fuel system?
Air locks are caused by air leaking into the fuel delivery line or entering from the tank. Air locks are eliminated by turning the engine over for a time using the starter motor, or by bleeding the fuel system. Modern diesel injection systems have self-bleeding electric pumps which eliminate the air lock problem.
