We had a Cummins diesel engine that were above the fuel tanks and whenever the fuel filters were changed we had a problem removing the air. This
engine had the (PT) Pressure Time pump on it.

We finally decided to pressurize one of the fuel tanks with air pressure. We dropped the air pressure to only a couple of pounds. We removed the fuel line at the PT pump and then applied the
air pressure. A lot of air bubbles appeared & then a clear stream of fuel. Shutoff the air and reconnected the fuel line. The engine started
right away. This may work on these engines. You do not want to rupture the fuel tank with a lot of pressure. Hal
