I have a 3600 Ford diesel tractor on which I replaced the fuel filter. According to my owner's manual I now need to bleed air out of the fuel filter by loosening the bleed screw on top of the filter housing and waiting until I see fuel flowing out of the housing by gravity. My next step would be to open the bleed screw on the injector pump and bleed air out of the system by cranking the engine over. My problem is that I can't get past the first step. No fuel comes out of the bleed screw on the filter housing even if I take it completely off the housing. I have a full tank of fuel and I have even cracked the coupling on the fuel supply tubing where it attaches to the filter housing. When I do that I can get fuel to flow out of that area so I know the fuel valve on the bottom of the tank is working. Why can't I get fuel to flow out of the bleed screw on the filter housing? Any response would be appreciated!

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
