bleeding the fuel lines

i have taken the bed off to do the brake lines, clean the frame and do odds and ends. so when doing all this i found out that the fuel lines were in really bad shape, so i am going to bend the new ones tomorrow and was wondering how difficult it is to get all the air out. thanks ahead of time for all the knowledge and help you guys give.

It's not hard at all. When I did my big line upgrade and was ready to bleed I opened the bleed screw on the filter housing and pumped the lever on the lift pump until it was all fuel and no air. Should take about 3 to 4 min of pumping maybe less.

Hope this helps.
