When I'm ready to bleed the primary fuel filter and system I pressurize the fuel tank.

I do this by taking the vent tube loose and blowing a full lung-full of air into the tube. Had to blow two lung-fulls into the tank once when it was pretty empty. Then I stop it up with the proper size bolt.

Then I just open up the proper bleed screws and fittings and she bleeds herself.......
