The Ford Transit fuel filter prime procedure requires purchasing a hand priming tool. Operate the hand pressure pump until the fuel filter is full and the tool becomes firm. Continue operating the special tool during cranking if necessary. Don't start the motor for more than 10secs at a time allow to cool for 30 secs between cranking. Start the engine and allow it to idle until it reaches normal operating temperature remove priming tool.Failure to fully prime the fuel filter could result in premature pump failure. Don't forget these pumps have an operating pressure froM250 bar to 1800 bar. Any lack of lubricant (diesel) will cause damage to the rollers in the pump then You will have foreign particles in the fuel supply to the injectors, resulting in damage to the pintel tips of the injectors.
