Hi, This video was very helpful to get the air bled out of the system. In the end, it was just air and not any gunk that I could see inside the tank. That said, I’ll get some of the biocide mentioned and worry a bit less. I bled up to the injectors and then flipped them off and cranked for a few seconds. After that, flipped the injectors back on and it fired right up.
I also realized that my engine doesn’t have a primary Racor fuel filter/separator. It came this way and does have the secondary Yanmar one on the engine. Would adding a Racor be a good idea?
