T&T: Novice Diesel Questions

[Doug Gould]

1. If I drain off fluid from my Racors to check for
any sediment or water will I likely need to do any
bleeding of the system?

Ans: not likely, but it could depend on how high your
Racor is compared to the height of the lift pump on
the main engine. If your Racor is higher than the lift
pump, you should have no problem, just refill and
start as usual.

2. When I change the filter element can I just fill
the Racor unit with diesel and avoid having to bleed?

Ans: Probably. see answer to question #1
