[QUOTE="marcusthehat, post: 3413112, member: 61430"] I will add that I almost "went mad" with air getting in to the diesel, after I changed a fuel filter on the 12 year old Galaxy. Clipped the dodgey ends of rubber hoses, murderously overtightened jubilee clips, smothered each disturbed joint in grease, still air bubbling through the clear tell-tale(for HMRC) fuel line. Anyway finally concluded, against all logic or reason that it must be the sealed canister fuel filter itself that was leaking. Pulled it off, blocked 3 of the 4 pipes and sucked on the 4th. Voila, air getting in somewhere, probably a dodgy rolled seam? swopped for another filter at the motor factors and 100% Fuc£k$%^&*()_t+ard P.S. re using a compressor as a vaccum supply. There trouble at work with a community group running the brand new oil boiler dry, and it refusing to re-start after, despite a full fill of kero. The very very competent handyman could not break the airlock. The wee 5l 13A cheapo compressor was in his van. I thought, hmmm? pulled off the inlet filter, stripped back to a length of nom 1/2" pipe, pushed on a cutting of garden hose, other end of which was connected to the boiler end of the oil supply pipe. And switched on. It gargled and spluttered quite a lot, but. Bingo! Our H&S Officer would probably not have been impressed with the expelled mist of kero and air, inside the boiler room. Fortunately the handyman was a non smoker. but It worked. mth. [/QUOTE]
