Hi good video - one thing that might be worth mentioning particularly if you are new to the boat or someone else has used the engine. Check the engine stop lever has not been left pulled out! Sometimes this cannot be seen if not adjacent to the start key.

Very helpful iv just purchased a 36ft cruiser that's been standing since 2017 and I'm having trouble starting it but with your videos I should be able to get it started now thanks very helpful.

It might be worth mentioning the return fuel system. You won't get very far on one can of fuel that is being returned to the main tank!

That's only bled part of the low pressure side of the system, there will still be air in the line between the secondary filter and the injector pump. You need to loosen the bleed on the pump and repeat the process using the lift pump lever. Then there will still be air in the high pressure side of the system, a lot of engines are self bleeding but if anyone here is genuinely stuck and their engine still isnt running you need to crack your injectors off and turn your engine over on the key until you see fuel coming out of each. (Do this one at a time, and be ready for the engine to possibly fire before you get to the last injector) Remember to shut your seacock off so you dont flood the engine with water and dont have it turning over for more than 10 seconds at a time so you dont fry your starter (let it cool off for a bit between turning). If your engine still isnt running then it's not a problem with air in the fuel.

Most common failures is Vacuum leaks! ... Make sure any connection is connected well... Even the non using taps on the Delphi pre-filter may leak ..... Use brass gasket rings and make sure the hose connections are tight

Good tip at the end !

the best vid on the subject i have seen. thank you so much

Perfect with subtitles .Thanks.

As you start out, is power on and is the shifter in the neutral position. If the shifter is not properly positioned there is no current supplied to the starter.

Great video, I am working on my Volvo Penta MD11C, i got the diesel bug in it!

very good explained, learned a lot....

Bonjour, merci pour vos vidéos sous titrees en français, elles sont simplement parfaites.

Emergency into a jerry can is great, but don’t forget to mention that the jerry can will have a much decreased range if your engine is set up with a fuel return. You would need to unhook the fuel return and place it in your jerry can as well to get proper fuel consumption.

Awesome vid! Absolutely perfect. 🍻⛵

I love the video

Remember the Diesel return is still going to the main fuel tank

Thanks !

With my 6 cylinder you have to bleed at each injector VS one central location….thanks for video

Nice video thanks for the info💕 Not to mention the fuel and water Seperator in this video has a little black ring inside if there is water in there the black ring will float right?

Very good !

👍

Ty sir

And the injectors ? And the injector pump bleed screw ?

You mentioned electrics at the start but didn't cover it again after that.

What if there's an air leak somewhere that caused the air in the fuel? How do you track that down?

Nothing on bleeding the injectors?

I really want to know where they got that cutey little diesel test tank from ? I cant seem to find one anywhere .

To bleed the fuel lines on my boat I just manually pump the lift pump until fuel flows out of the return fuel line.

When opening the fuel separator to look for water contamination. Do you need to bleed that filter after draining some fuel from the bottom of the filter?

Any time frame when one believes the injectors are “gummed up” and the spray pattern compromised because the boat / motor had been stored for an extended amount of time ? And if cleaning injectors is ideal vs new I believe once the spray pattern is compromised, the injectors nozzle spray does not ... “self correct” with any type of fuel tank additives or magic potions ... Then trouble shooting the injector pump - how? Those two parts on my 2gm20?were the issue on an otherwise perfect little 900 hour motor

Man, my sailboat’s engine got a bad leak. Damn. The water is a mess every time I start the boat. Any suggestions? I’d appreciate it.

What do you do if there is water in fuel filter

Hello, i have trouble while starting the engine first time of the day in early morning while the weather is warm, the starter have power to turn the engine, with the 3 4 times wont start, but after next try start normally, i already check filters bleeding, but couldnt find a solution.

So show the fuel coming out with bubbles.

When I pump the manual lift, nothing comes out of the bleed valve. Does this indicate the lift pump needs replacing or os something else going on?

👍👍👍👍👍👍

What do you do if there is water in the fuel

If the pre filter is empty on diesel. Do i just need to bleed or fill the second filter?

Hi - what is the Yanmar demo engine you're using?

Is this water separator filter type ok for nanni diesel 21 hp ?

Hi, what could be the issue if the secondary fuel pump is still not receiving fuel?

Y does my beta engine won't sto

Where did they find this accountant to bleed the system with a ring spanner? 🤣 get a proper tool which turns more than 1/16th of a turn

Wot do you do with 18 month old diesel?

👍
