Diesel fuel bleed pump

Sorry don't get ya, lean a few times??

I can't get the black knob on top of the filter housing to move even a mm. Though there is no air in the line I just thought I'd see how to do it if I run out of fuel etc, does this make a difference.

Lean on it - push down on it. It is already in the 'UP' Position, you just push it down - but dont try and move it a foot, it only moves few mm...
Will try mine again when I get home.
I actually think there is another thread on this round here, try searchin.

Gday Austravel,

How's it all going? My car is downstairs, but I could find out about the pump fairly quickly. Apart from that, all running smoothly?

Cheers

Chris.

trucky, is the pump on the GQ the same as the GU, I remember the black pump on top, but haven't taken much notice of the GU, think I'll go down and check...

Check here

Thanks guys,

Couldn't get past the idea it was in the down position. Now I get it! I'll have a look tonight I don't remember there being a bleed nut at the top. I recall a drain nut at the bottom with a bit of clear hose on but will have to look a bit closer tonight.

Thanks again.

I was the same, tryin to lift it up, I thought of a pump that would move 3-4niches.. Nearly ripped me fingers off.

Do you ahve one of the original glovebox manuals, that explains it.. i have a spare if you dont. $20+post.

Thanks Truckster, did the same thing I was fairly heaving on the little black knob. I'll have another look in my manual, I didn't see it when I scanned through, but it must be there.

Thanks theratt,

I've yet to change a fuel filter, hence my questions. The filter prices are a bit of a shock compared to my old petrol GQ.

Do you use genuine or are there cheaper replacements out there??

Thanks

i just go to nissan and get what i have to, i figure i am saving anyway as i do all my own servicing on my vehicle, if anything breaks its going to be my problem i know, but i have that many modifications my warranty must be nearly void, although i did get a new bullbar off mr nissan after mine cracked, not without a fight though

Thanks, probably what I'll do as well.

Hi,

I'd heard that the nissan pump can't handle a second filter inline with the orginal and it should be one or the other. Is this right or you've done something different?

Gday Austravel,
I have worked for nissan for 13 years and have not seen a problem with dual fuel filters. Most diesel specialists recommend 2.
Thanks
Steve
