[Alberg30] Diesels ,fuel and air

[Peter Amos]

I quote from "Marine Diesel Engines" by Nigel Calder, the section dealing with persistent air in the fuel supply.
"A similar problem can arise when the leak off pipe from the injectors is fed into a fitting on the secondary fuel filter with another overflow line running from here back to the tank.When the engine is shut down, fuel will sometimes siphon down the overflow line and cause air to be sucked into the system.........To cure the problem either move the leak off pipe so that it runs directly to the fuel tank.................etc

Hope this helps
