Hi all
Well, as per title, I changed the fuel filter, I filled it up with fuel as much as I could from the inlet hose.
(The car was starting fine before that (surprisingly) ... I put the inlet and outlet hose back as fast as I could and cranked the engine. It won't do anything. I can see the feeder pipe to the pump is not getting any fuel. It is dry.
I tried maybe 6 or 7 times to crank the engine but nothing... now my battery is almost dead and I am not sure what to do. I filled the filter with fuel a bit more, I can see the outlet point overflowing a bit and then when I connect the hose and crank it dries out but there is no more fuel running through the pump hose.
Is there a way to manually prime the pump on an W163 ML 270 ?
thanks
