Best way to blead air out of the P7100?

[T. Baker]

What is the best way to blead air out of the pump. Seems Bosch did not put a air blead screw on the pump. Is there a good way to install and air blead screw? The othere inline pumps I have worked on have a couple of air bleaders and it sure makes life eaysier espscially for the starter!

Treven.

Just crack open a couple of injector lines at the injector. Know what you mean, most other pumps I've dealt with have a bleed on the pump but you most always had to bleed at the injector also.

illflem, That is what I ended up doing but the problem I have with that is I still have to crank the starter because the primer button does not seem to pump fuel past the delivery valves. I don't like to use the starter motor to get air out!!
