MD Diesel Bleeding?

Posted by hattrick on December 17, 2012 at 16:33:52 from (216.57.221.66):

So I have tried to bleed the diesel side on my 1953 MD per the manual. I have the tank about one third full and noticed that the the water seperator filled very slowly but eventually filled. When I try and bleed the system I open the bleeder and get fuel from the water seperator. I then bleed the primary filter and get air but eventually fuel. I then loosen the bleeder on the auxillary and eventually get fuel. When I go to the injectors their is no fuel with the speed lever slightly activated. I then go back and get more air from the primary filter and then takes a bit to get fuel from the auxillary filter again. My question is a preety simple at this point. Is the fuel from the tank through all of the filters just gravity fed or is somewhat pulled from the pump? At this point I am thinking I just have poor flow through the water seperator but not sure. Sorry as I am a diesel newbie.
