311 sprinter air in fuel system

[apw]

Hi i recently self serviced my sprinter air,oil and fuel filter all the relevant seals were replaced and initially it ran perfectly
Now however on start up the starter motor turns noticeably quicker and once running if you look at the middle pipe coming out of the fuel filter you can see a constant stream of air bubbles
Any ideas as to how i get the air out of the system?

Hi ya, it isnt a case of getting the air out but of where the air is getting in,the common places it can be are pressure regulator seals, seal on the fittings on the fuel filter, fuel lines themselves. There are other places but those are the most common and if it happened after you serviced the van i would suspect the filter fitting seals
