Hi,
If I disconnect my fuel line (diesel) where it comes out of the tank, will I need to bleed the fuel system once I connect it up again? I am not touching the filter at this stage, just dropping the tank out and connecting it back up again. I was worried that as there would still be fuel in the hose and filter, the car would run for quite some time before/if it conks out. I don’t want to be 10 K’s down the road and find out I should have bled the system.
And as there is fuel in the filter I assume that bleeding will get a lot of fuel everywhere before I encounter any air which would be further down the line.
Cheers Tony
