filter dilemma

ok so i changed my fuel filter, and when i removed it tho fuel heater came with it. I put it back and filled the new filter with fuel and primed the system. But the oring thats on the heater was gone, so i got a bunch of air in my fuel system. now i should bleed it at the banjo screw, and then bleed the injectors one at a time? and which way should the lp lever be in to start the truck?

your wire didn't come off the Fuel Shutoff Solenoid (FSS) did it? Make sure she's on there good and tight.

You had the fuel heater off and the oring was gone, but you didn't replace it? I imagine it will leak fuel out, and air in! Mine is!

No I put in another o ring. I believe it's on there. It won't catch even if I hit it with ether.

where are you spraying the ether? When I was putting my new IP in, I was spraying it into the turbo inlet with the filter off. It won't catch that way. You need to take the intercooler boot off that goes to your intake horn... DISCONNECT YOUR STARTER GRID HEATERS. They can make ether go boom in your face!

Give her a couple quick shots and try again, she'll catch.

I was going in right at the turbo. In the intake horn huh? How come it won't catch just with fuel?
