Fuel/Water Separator: Procedures
NOTICE: FORD DOES NOT PROVIDE A SPECIFIC PROCEDURE TO BLEED THE FUEL SYSTEM OF AIR.
Do not run your diesel vehicle out of fuel as this will allow air to enter the fuel system which will make restarting difficult. Longer engine cranking time
may be required once air is in the fuel system. If air is allowed to enter the fuel system (during fuel change or if you run out of fuel) the engine will
PURGE THE TRAPPED AIR AS IT RUNS. The engine may run rough and produce white smoke while air is in the system. This is normal and should
correct it's self in short time.
WARNING: Do not crank the engine for more than 30 seconds at a time as damage to the starter motor may result.
If the engine fails to start in 30 seconds turn the key to the OFF position and wait 30 seconds before trying again.
10C. FUEL AERATION TEST
Purpose
To determine if the fuel is aerated and causing a poor idle condition.
