Ford 6.4 Powerstroke changed fuel filters and no start (bleed fuel system) 

Man you saved my butt on this. I was getting pretty worried when nothing was working. Tried your method and had it running in 5 min. Thanks a ton. Great mechanic!

Thank you very much for this video. It was God sent. I accidentally ran out of fuel and my f450 stopped. I was across the street from a gas station and had a large gas can. I went and filled up with diesel but truck would not start. I had truck towed to my home which was around the corner. Called a mobile diesel mechanic that said that lines needed bleeding. Mechanic never showed up. I googled and saw this video and followed the instructions. Within 30 minutes my truck cranked up and was up and running. I ran it on the freeway to open it up and it’s running perfect again. Thanks again.

Hey brother!!! I know it’s been 3-years since you posted this; however, I want to say, “you saved my rear end” with this video! Brilliance, upon brilliance! Well done, sir!

All these other videos say bleed from the Schrader. Non mention the banjo unless talking about special tools. Spent 3 hours bleeding it to no avail. Found your video and 5 minutes later the truck was running. You saved my ass. Thanks!!

Thank you SIR! Mine took about as long as this video. My cousin is assisting me an he was thinking we had to go buy bleedr and i found your video! The fuel squirts out a lot more powerful on my truck? From start to finish in under an hour! Plus saved huge by doing everything and servicing it myself. if a mostly paraplegic guy can do this anyone probably can it sucked but now im bout to change power steering pump, EGR and DPF upgrade (delete)..😂😂😖

This worked for me. I bought STP fuel filters and couldn’t get it to start. I put the old filter back in, and followed the steps you showed, and it fired right up. Thank you!!

Yeah!!! I was freakin out. I was swapping and injector put everything back and the truck wasn’t turning on. Then I saw your video and did the exact same thing for 2 hrs. And it turned on!! Thank you.

You my friend are truly a blessing!!! I had no clue as to what to do and thank you for letting us know that it is possible to take all day. Mine actually took me 3 hours CONTINUOUSLY but the end result was hearing the sound of that motor running again! Thank you man..... I appreciate you and I have subscribed!!! I am a fan!

Thank you! It took a little while I was about to give up but I got all the air out and started right up.

MAN you saved me so much time and money with this video! I stumbled across this video after reading countless blogs with no success but YOU my friend saved me ass!

Wow thanks for the video, it’s nice to have one that shows you how to fix the air bubble problems with no special tools

You helped me out thank you so much. I had a oh crap moment after I changed my filters and it didn’t turn over. Thank you again

Here's another person you saved. Thank you. Little messy but it got me on the road.

Thanks for posting this video! My son got impatient after changing his F350's fuel filters and air-locked the system, but the backyard bleed worked perfect.

Thank for making this video… this is the fastest and most easy way to bleed air out 🙏

Muchas gracias campeón me salvaste de desfalcar mi cartera, el día de ayer mi f250 me dejó tirado me obligó a orillarme, contaba con poco menos de 1/4 de fuel, en cuanto rebasé sentí que perdí potencia y al mirar mi tablero mis RPM estaban en 0 se había apagado, al orillarme y querer de nuevo arrancar nada solo hacia crank no daba arranque, revisé baterías, intente pasar con un jump starter para ver si eran las baterías o algo, le metí 5 galones de diésel y nada solo crank sin mas llame a una grúa y al menos investigar con amigos diciéndome que iba a salir un dineral y todo ya desanimado busque el n internet y RU-vid di con tu video, cambie filtros de una vez y realize el procedimiento y arrancó, no necesite traer a ningún mecánico ni nada de verdad muchas gracias muy buena ayuda te mando un saludo!!

Thank you brother I just had the same problem I don't work on these very much you just saved me a lot of aggravation i really appreciate it.

Dude, spot on! Had it bled and running in 10 minutes following your video. Thanks!!!

Thank you for that. My truck has sat in town over night. I ran out of fuel, added some and it won't start. This will get me going I'm sure.

You are the MAN only took me a few minuets to get running Thank You

Also you are like the best out here to try and help as you do, and I appreciate what you do and have subscribed!

Thank you so much for this video. I was working on my 2008 6.4 for 3 days after changing oil and fuel filters. After this it would not start and was throwing code p2291. I was researching and watching videos and was about to have it towed to local mechanic. This video probably saved me hundreds. Every videos was saying fuel pump or fuel injector sensor, which is under valve cover on passenger side, or saying throw the dice could be a number of problems. I even replaced a couple sensors and put a new oil tube in filter housing still wouldn't start. I went out as a last resort and tried this thinking yea right but it worked. Just cycling the fuel pump for 30 seconds for 5 to 7 cycles does not always work. You have to get all the air out of the fuel line. Thanks again.

Thank you for this video. I got my 6.4 back up and running in about 15 minutes. I was just before calling a tow truck and taking it to a shop.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!! Cheers from Canada!

Thank you for your video! It showed me I need to let the air out of the left side of the lil cooler. Hopefully I can get my truck running now!! 😃

Thank you bro this was super helpful after I changed my fuel filter!

Thanks for posting this video made my day easier

Muchas gracias amigo la verdad se me hizo fácil cambiar los filtros pero después no quería prender ya me tenía loco ,hice lo que tu hiciste en el video Y prendió en 5 minutos me ahorraste la ida al mecanico Gracias brother

My truck ran out of fuel even though my gauges showed 1/4 tank. I put 5 gals of diesel in but couldn’t get it to prime. I ended up draining the batteries trying. After charging the batteries I found your video, and, using your method, I was up and running in 5 mins. Very grateful that you took the time to post this.

Thank you 450 gelled up. I like to never get it running. This saved me. 45 minutes up and running!

Thank you bud. You got my truck running again.

Thanks bro tbh u really made my day got to help my grunpy dad today also made his day wen i turned it on due to his diabetes hes always in a bad mood but not today lol thank u alot god bless

Thx Man, This video really help me…it definitely took me three hours. Thx Again.

Hey BD Vato thankyou for the all the motivation that i got from your video. You must be tenacious and not give up on getting the air out. Within 15 mins of watching your video, I got my 08 6.4 running after running it out of fuel on a hill idling (dumbass me I know ). So most us know that you loosen the back banjo bolt to bleed it not the one with Schrader valve. And that the pump runs 30 secs after turning on the key. I worked solo and It worked fine. I got a ratchet and a 17mm socket and any tool that works to push in the Schrader valve needle gently. I did not worry so much with the valve till the end and I was sure air was done coming out of banjo. you must move quickly in order not to have banjo open after the pump stops or you just sucked in a bunch or air and your starting this over again. so I got an incredible bleed of air when I would loosen the banjo quickly and even jiggle it as to allow trapped air out along with quite a bit of fuel then tighten it back down gently and quickly just enough to not let it suck in more air. only tighten slightly with socket BEFORE it stops. repeat the process until only diesel is coming out with no foam now start bleeding Schrader as well each time until it also just has trail diesel flowing out with NO air. once accomplished tighten down banjo to spec good and snug. then do the x6 30sec priming running the pump to further up the pressure. when you get that last bit of air out you will know--your very close the pressure will be so high opening banjo that you might need safety glasses and a rag because it will be spraying out hard enough to get your attention for sure. open the banjo plenty enough to getrdone. bearly opening it will just take many more cycles of the same. dont not give upif you ran it dry or just got air in changing the fuel filter it will work for you. again great going vato I am subscribed. I bow to you diesel brother I will be sharing my discovery with a local ford mechanic that deals with this all the time.peace out donmiguel it these little details that I hope someone reads my long ass comment...lol and helps another get that ford back on the road

I thank you sir for your time to make this video..

Very good video Carlos thanks man and help me out many times

lots of um's an uh's but very quick to the punch! ty sir

thanks brother you saved me some money......worked out good!

Thank you my Spanish is bad. Writing Spanish is worse. But that is very good information. PS I never buy those cheap filters. I always have a set on the shelf. I buy to replace the ones I use from my shelf. And up here on the North West coast check your oil water separator it will pay off clean it out every 30k or so😊👍

Muchas gracias bro tú video me salvó $500 dólares, y no es que no los haya podido pagar antes pero mi economía ahora está muy mala, muchas gracias ojalá puedas seguir echándo la mano a nosotros los Greenies.

Tengo una pregunta compre una camioneta de esas le cambiaron los filtros y le vaciaron el tanque x completo si lleno el tanque y ago ese proseso funsiona o que tengo que aser

If air is in the line, would it also cause it to sputter for a brief moment and then just shut off, along with plumes of gray smoke??

Chingon compa estoy aprendiendo

Thank you

Gracias hermano tenía ya 4 dias batallando pensando que hera la presión en el aceite porque cambié mi aceite y mis filtros y hera aire en el sistema

Gracias amigo acabo de purgar mi troca gracias atu video

This is awesome! I do have a question, does all the diesel that is spilled and sitting on the lines mess up the wires/ block gasket

Tenjo una pregunta q pasa si prende un rato y se buelve a apagar?

Thankyou bro. Grasias. 2022

Thhhaaaankkkkk yooooouuuuu

That is awesome to know the knowledge you have with diesel engines. Much appreciate what you do for the people whom seek this kind of help. What would be the difference in a 6.0. And thanks in advance.

I have a 6.7 diesel 2016 f250 how do i take the air out i check and it doesn’t look like the 6.4 engine

My gas shooting out wild how do You know the air is actually out from that one side where you gotta unscrew

Ey primo la Mia no tiene desel en El filtration de la pompa que me recomiendas

I changed my fuel filters and had air in my 6.4 (motor craft filters only) I just back off the fuel filter the one under the hood so the gasket is just 10:33 touching, do your normal cycling and it should start right up, retighten to factory spec

Buenas noches una pregunta estoy pasando algo similar un muchacho corrió mi camioneta marcando en reserva y se apago..... le puse 5 gallones y no kiere prender cree k sea aire en el sistema?????? Bueno al ver este su video será lo k haré mañana ojala y esto sea muchas gracias y un saludo desde california

I try this on 08 6.4 but it shots off on often and doesn't start till one or two hrs later

✊🏾❤️✊🏾

Since the passing of diesel tech ron your the only one posting any 6.4 vids. Your missing a huge opportunity to get more views and followers. Imho more vids...more fans...more money for u. Plus its a big help.

i had a guy change my low pressure pump. afterwards truck ran fine then started being hard to start, but starts and drives then dies while driving. im wondering can it be my system has air in it? if not he is wanting to change my high pressure pump now! should i try to bleed it first?

I tried some other methods and then tried this method but nothing was coming out. No stream of diesel like shown in this video.the fuel filter can also doesn't fill up. Is it possible that my fuel pump went out while trying?

hola, tendras algun video de como remplazar las lineas de aceite de la transmission de una 2008 f250 6.4

Tiene taller donde vive? Tengo una 6.4 no prende!!!

Carlos acabo de comprar una 2008 F350 igual a la de tu vídeo , el problema que tengo es que al usarla a baja velocidad trabaja muy bien pero al acelerar se apaga .. mirando tus vídeos se me ocurre remplazar la bomba del diésel y filtros .. alguien de tu confianza en mecánica diésel en Tijuana que me recomiendes ?

Gracias amigo te cuento le puese otro motor a mi camioneta y a la hora de arrancarla nada pero se que es eso porque le purgue donde dices y ya quería arrancar lo are mañana muchas gracias

Hola , podría hacer uno de cómo bleed el sistema de una 6.7 powerstroke por favor? Gracias de antemano.
