Fuel line primer
Does anyone have any experience with the aftermarket fuel line primers? the older diesel mercedes used to have a hand pump to get the air out of the line, which was very useful.
My '97 300d doesn't have one, and I was wondering if anyone had tried installing a primer into their line.
Thanks,
Art

Why would you need to routinely remove air from your lines? If you have leaks then you should fix them by replacing the o-rings and/or fuel lines (common air ingress points).
A hand operated vacuum pump like the MightyVac is handy for pulling fluids, but is normally only needed during maintenance/repair activity.
