found fuel leak,now what about bleeding fuel

I found the leak, it was a faulty fuel lift pump, brand new and lasted 20 minutes.
I have a new one coming in tommorrow and am just wondering if i should bleed air out of injectors or just the bleed screw. If I do need to bleed the injectors. What is the procedure.
Thanks,

Jeff

If you have a compressor handy, set it to 10 psi and using a rag or something as a block, stick the hose in the tank. The air will move the fuel a lot easier than the dinky hand primer. I would crack the bleed screw on top of the H2O separator, wait for the fuel and try to start, it probably will. If not, crank it for about 15-20 seconds and see what happens. If all else fails, keep going to the injectors, one at a time. It is not hard, takes about 10 minutes or less.
