In your explanation here, are you referring to the engine running when you loosen each injector one at a time, because if there is air in those fuel lines between the injection pump and the injector, the car won't run - period.I find injectors easy, Just loosen one till fuel spurts out, then move to the next one. When the first 2 injecter lines our bled, it should start sputtering, making #3 and #4 lines a joke. I just don't know the best way for the Injection pump.
That's about the simplest way to put it, isn't it? If the engine starts, stop cracking the injectors nuts! Maybe I've just been lucky, but in the handful of times that I've had to do this, I've just cracked the one nut on the first injector. A couple cranks and fuel spurts out. Tighten nut, and a couple more cranks and the engine starts.Lawrence, that post that you're responding to is almost 5 1/2 years old!
You crack an injector and then crank. The injector will spew fuel, eventually. Tighten and do the next one. If at any time the engine starts, then STOP cracking injectors as there's no longer any need to since the engine is running!
I'd never had any real problems up until I swapped out all the injectors on the daughter's wagon. Took quite a bit of cranking, but holding to the procedure it eventually fired up. It was after dusk and I was tired; this is usually when you end up doing something stupid and making a big problem for yourself!That's about the simplest way to put it, isn't it?

My pump appears to be leaking from the threads of the steel fitting that attaches the fuel pipes to the injection pump. Where the steel fitting screws into the injection pump is where fuel appears. Bottom left one is only leaking. I cleaned it well with soapy water let it dry and thats where the fuel appeared befor and after.If there is a clear retro kit for the NB, I am not aware.
I purchased some clear pipe off eBay over three years ago to use on the ALH in my Vanagon. To this day, it has not deteriorated and has remained clear. I went back as far as eBay would let to see if I could find the name/vendor with no luck.
If you'll PM me a ground mailing address, I'll send you more than enough to go from the Fuel Filter over to the IP.
Considering there is some pressure inside the return hose, if it was leaking, you'd certainly see it.
