Hi Guys,

My actros Mp4 ran out of fuel, now it’s cranking but not starting, what I’ve done so far.

  1. Put 100 litres of fuel
  2. Using the hand primer pump on the fuel filter housing (on the left side of the engine) - it seems like its not pulling fuel up there’s no resistance at all

Any idea on fuel in and out pipes maybe pipe clogged

Would appreciate some help to get this started up…

Thanks

Bleeding the fuel system used to be so straight forward, but this could be what you need to do:

Spray some easy start/brake cleaner into the air intake whilst cranking it over.
If you do this on your own, you will need long arms :slight_smile:
