[Vwdiesel] Filling IP pump

[Bud]

Thanks guys,
I know the first time I got the engine together on my limited rebuild
(fuel was in the IP) that I did not crack the hard lines and it bled
out well.  I'll use my vacumm pump to fill the IP and give it a crank
when I get it all together,

This is the air in the hard lines and it must lock the injector open or something.  Shut down the motor and restart it.  That seems to burp it out.  If not, then open up the 17mm nut on top of the injector to let the air out, that will fix it.
