Hi, I have an Oliver 66 Diesel which needs to have the injector lines replaced. I purchased a set of lines but I have not put them on yet. I have never worked on a diesel before are there any particular steps that need to be followed? What is the proper way to bleed the lines? Any help would be appreciated. Jon

The very first step is to get everything clean in the area around the pump and injectors. Then just remove them capping off the fitting in the injection pump and injectors. Before installing the new ones, it is a good idea to take compressed air and blow out your new lines. Injectors are very sensitive to dirt and can ruin one very easily. Install your new lines and tighten down snug, don't overtighten. Leave the lines a little loose at the injectors. Then crank the engine over until you see fuel coming from all lines. Then tighten them back up and with a little bit of cranking, it should be running again. With the engine running, you can crack each line individually to make sure all the air comes out, but it is not necessary unless you have a miss after a little bit of running.

You'll want to replace all filters at the same time, and will need to bleed the system. This is done by turning on the fuel at the tank, then bleeding each filter in order- do it by opening the bleed screw/ bolt at the top of the filter housing, and leaving it open until clear fuel (without bubbles) flows out. Then do the next one, and finally, bleed the pump if there is provision for such (you need a repair manual), or at least cracking open the line going to the pump (at the pump end) until clear fuel flows out). Then crank the engine and bleed each injector line.
