Changed the fuel filter on my '01 Cummins today. Drained the bowl out and replaced the filter. The problem is, I'm not getting any fuel to the bowl now. When I put the fuel filter in, I left the key on for 20 seconds or so to pressureize the system, I hit the starter and it ran for about 5 seconds (just enough to empty the injection pump I'm sure) and then nothing. I pulled the filter back out, and the bowl is bone dry.
What am I missing or what did I do wrong?
Do I need to manually fill the bowl up with diesel and try it again? If I did run the inj pump out of fuel, do I need to bleed out the injectors?
Thanks.
