2001 ETech bleeding fuel lines

[Etu]

We just replaced exhaust gaskets and of course had to remove the injection lines. Now we are having difficulty bleeding the injection lines. I can’t seem to find the procedure in my copy of SB-210-034. 
While searching on line, I also read somewhere these lines are one time use?? Is that why we’re having trouble bleeding?

Any feedback appreciated. Thanks

To bleed them you can loosen them at the head, and pump the primer til they squirt.  Its a little messy.. 2 or 3 lines is enough to get it cranked. As far as one time use,,,,, i have take 320 emory cloth in my finger tips and rotated the ball seat til the groove was gone or mostly gone.  It works 3/4 of the time..  you have to torque condition the nuts to get a proper seating

Thank you so much Joey Mack  

I understand about the Emory cloth on the seat. But how do you torque condition the nuts going in the head?

[Joey Mack]

Tighten them to about 45 lbft, back them way off and finish at around 25+lbft. This forms the seat then seats them.

There's a bulletin but i dont have it handy. Maybe E-Media has it

This is my line set up. I’m assuming you are polishing the tip that goes into the injection nozzle holder?

[Joey Mack]

Both ends. Then shoot brake clean through the tube to rinse any grit..

Gotcha. Thanks so much.

Followed Joey Mack instructions on bleeding and it worked fine.

I have worked on many different Macks and built a lot of engines, trannys and rear ends...  Done a bunch,  suspension, frames etc.... but never will i think i know it all.  Many times i have added knowledge from reading posts on here, then go to my book to get more.  I will always be willing to share what i have.. thanks again Paul.
