I'm going to be opening up the fuel system in my 82 vanagon diesel
soon, and am looking for a step-by-step description of the correct
method of re-priming the fuel system once I get it back together.
Once when I ran out of fuel, the tow truck guy just bled the air out
using the 10mm nut at the top of the fuel filter, but I understand
this is both incorrect and unreliable.


The Bentley manual does not discuss this at all.


Could someone please provide me with step-by-step instructions, or
point me to a site that does?  It's the sort of thing I should learn
(and my wife should learn) anyway...


Thanks!


T.
