Cummins 4BT – Venting the Fuel Systems

Controlled venting is provided at the injection pump through the fuel drain manifold. Small amounts of air
introduced by changing the filters or injection pump sup­ply line will be vented automatically if the fuel filter is
changed in accordance with the instructions.

However, manual bleeding will be required if:
• The fuel filter is not filled prior to installation.
• Fuel injection pump is replaced.
• High pressure fuel line connections are loosened or lines replaced.
• Initial engine start up or start up after an extended period of no engine operation.
