    I replaced the fuel filter in my old gmc dump truck the other day and when I started to take it off I heard air and I notice that some times I have a surge like its running out of fuel but if I give it more pedal it stops and keep pulling...how can I bleed the aire out of the system if there is any???? thanks

    If it's running it should bleed through on its own. Just make sure its not sucking air

    It may need a fuel system flush, I do not remember the name but it comes in a purple box, from Cummins, you run the engine with the contents of the box to clean the injectors. then do a set, base circle method.
    I have a #10 clear line made up to check the fuel inlet for air, and high restriction. That is important? using the proper filter a 1212 also helps a lot.
    Just a thought!
