You most likely know but fill the filter up with diesel before you put it back on then prime it to start, If any issues crack an injector then turn it over and she will fire up

I know about filling the filter to the brim, but there is no primer as far as I know. I've always just cracked one of the injectors. Where is the primer on the 2L DI?

Been a few years since the mark 6 but from memory there is a black button on the side or back of the filter housing

If there should be Les, there isn't one on mine. I thought that was idea of brimming the filter, to do away with the need for priming?

Might have been on my 2.4 transit then i was thinking of

I can't remember the details, some of the 2.4s had a primer, possibly some 2.0 too. Think they did away with the primer as that was a source of possible leak.

I can't remember either, I've had a few Transit vans/tippers over the years, I can't remember priming a fuel filter. That said, my memory isn't the best in the world... by any stretch.

 

back to the picture above, it smells more like Turps than Diesel, I'm not jesting this time... having drank them both...

Nice offer, but I've never used a chainsaw mill, Les. What about Roughy?
