I forgot to turn on the fuel on my 5030 before starting it after i changed the oil fuel and air filters. Now it wont start because it is vapor locked. It says i need to bleed the fuel line but I'm not sure where to loosen to get the fuel line bled. Can anyone help?

If you ran the lines completely empty you'll probably have to open the lines up at the enjectors and crank it until fuel comes out, don't let someone talk you into using starting fluid on it,, nothing much harder on them and you could do big time damage to it. I have a 2020d it has a bleed button on the back side of the pump but I think that only bleeds it from the filter through the pump not on up to the enjectors. If I'm wrong or someone else knows a better way I'm sure they'll jump in here.
