Owen Posted March 7, 2001 Share Posted March 7, 2001 Hi, When I finally get around to starting the engine for the first time, I know it is best to pre-lube the engine with oil. But should I build up pressure in the fuel lines as well? Naturally the fuel tank, pump, lines, etc. are all empty. I read somewhere that air in the fuel line caused by cavitation in the gas tank can possible damage the injectors or the engine. Wouldn't that mean upon first start, since the fuel lines are empty, there could be a danger of damaging the engine?

TimZ Posted March 7, 2001 Share Posted March 7, 2001 You should be able to purge the air out of the system by just letting the fuel pump run for a minute or so before starting the engine. The air gets pushed back through the return line, into the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
