2008 Ford Galaxy tdci not starting after fuel filter change

Recommended Posts

Hi 

Changed fuel filter on Ford Galaxy, filled filter bowl with fuel before refitting top, I have tried everything but get it started, even pressurised fuel tank, there is no fuel between outlet of filter bowl to high pressure pump. 

Has anyone any suggestions?? 

Paul.

Best option: Use a suction pump on the return line to draw it through the pump etc keep sucking it whilst getting someone to start it at the same time then reclip the return line whilst it’s running

 

option 2 - easy start

option 3 - tow start it

Proper bastard they are, I always vac the fuel up to fill the new Filter before trying to fire 'em, they usually stay running then ;)
