Hello,
Still trying to find the source of air intrusion. O-rings etc all replaced. New return lines..... When I leave the truck for more than a few hours there is air trapped up in the air filter - when I bleed it only air comes out for a while.
My question: The steel return line connection which is circled in the image (sorry I don't know the name) - this is very wobbly and loose on my truck. Should this be nice and snug? Wondering if this is a potential source of air getting in.
Apologies for the bad quality of the diagram - it's the only one I can find online.
Since I'm writing, the symptoms are: Starts fine but then dies after a few seconds. Then have to crank it for ages to get it to fire up, when it idles rough for a short time then smooths out. And if I bleed the schrader valve on the fuel filter at this point then air comes out for a while.
Thanks as always.
