Does changing the diesel filter require bleeding air?
1 Answers
When starting, if the throttle is pressed halfway, there is no need to bleed air. Loosen the high-pressure fuel pipe bolts on the diesel pump. After a day of rain, the filter needs to be replaced. A wet filter, air filter, or clogged exhaust pipe can cause poor exhaust flow. When replacing a new filter: 1. Clean the diesel air filter element: The exhaust valve is set at the highest point in the air conditioning system. Clean the diesel air filter element or remove dust from the paper filter as required, while observing the fuel pipe for air bleeding. Therefore, replace it with a new one and then tighten the fuel pipe bolts. 2. If cleaning is insufficient: If cleaning is insufficient, check the low-pressure fuel line from the fuel tank to the diesel pump. If fuel consumption remains high after replacement, it is not an air filter issue. Reduced air flow can lead to insufficient engine power, and the filter should be replaced if necessary. 3. Unclean conditions: Dirty oil or air filters can increase resistance.
