Bruce Amacker Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Does anyone have info on this fuel system bleeding tool? I can't find reference to it searching TSB's, or the WSM. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Warman Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 FWIW.... we have a gasoline fuel pressure test kit that is pretty comprehensive.... A large selection of banjo bolts and (naturally) a Schrader valve connection. I mention this since some shops may be a little shy on tool budgets or a tech may want to have his own stuff.... Rather than purchase a dedicated tool.... visit the tools you already have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbriggs Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Note that the banjo bolt is not hollow on the ford kit, it blocks all return fuel from reentering, and forces it out the hose. I have used parts from our fuel pressure test kit, but it failed to remove all air bubbles once and left me stranded halfway out of the shop. I also tried to put a ballcock on our ford issued one, which is how i discovered the blocked off banjo bolt. PS.. dont do that, it cant be shut off.

Keith Browning Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 This bleed tool really only needs to be used when the engine has been apart or the customer/technician has run it out of fuel or without bleeding the system after a filter change or fuel system repair. Like Chris mentioned it blocks off the return and it will remove air from the engine fuel system quite efficiently but if you have only opened the low pressure supply system, like when servicing the filters, you need only cycle the ignition six to eight times for thirty second intervals.

cbriggs Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I agree Kieth, for fuel filter jobs i bleed at the shrader valve a bit. But if the hp has been open..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
