Engine is in a forklift. Need to find out how to bleed the fuel system as it's got an air lock.

I've located the lift pump, but can't seem to find where the bleed nipple is.





Can't find any info on the block.

Slacken off the injector pipes , unscrew the big alloy screw near the fuel pump and prime it up /push in and out and crank it till it bleeds up then tighten pipes back up .

Ended up taking the lift pump to pieces. No matter how much we pumped, it wouldn't pull/push the diesel through. Turns out the little valve in the lift pump was wedged open. A quick clean and gentle persuasion, put it all back together again and it bled straight away.

Found out it's actually a Zetor engine.

Thanks!
