[Vwdiesel] re-ring done, but no start

[82 Diesel Westy]

To clear the air from the fuel lines, do this.  Worked
great for me.
First, fill the pump via the banjo bolt for fuel
return line to tank hole as described earlier.

Next, disconnect the fuel line feeding the pump and
put in coffee can.  Then, have someone wrap a rag
around an air nossel and fit it into the tank filler. 
Push air into the fuel tank with about 15-20psi, this
will force fuel out of the line and bleed the air out
of the lines, reconnect to pump when all bubbles are
gone.

Good luck.  That works for me every time.
