been told by a friend of mine that as well as filling the diesel filter with fuel when you start it you have to rev the rollocks of it so to help bleed the system. is this the case . cheers gramps.

Not the rollocks but just start it up and give it high tickover of at least 1100 or so maybe upto 2000, it's just so it doesn't sick the dregs of fuel then an air bubble and stall, it'll keep spinning under its own momentum for hopefully enough time to drag the fresh fuel through. :-)

Should work on all diesel vehicles that are in the correct temperature range (normal operating conditions to fire up)
