[Vwdiesel] Replacing the fuel filter - biodiesel

Ok, I got the correct fuel filter and installed it. Now the car will
barely start and will rev to 2,000 rpm for an instant and then drop to
almost nothing.

It looks like there is air in the line from the filter to the pump. How
can this be bled out?

BTW, the filter was replaced after putting in 1/2 tank of 100%
biodiesel. The car ran a lot better for about 15 km and then died. I
assumed that the fuel filter got plugged which is apparently common on
older cars when switched to biodiesel.

Is there anything in the fuel line before the filter that could have
gotten plugged as well?

Thanks.

Ethan
