Practical hints
Fuel system

̈ Drain the fuel filter again if the /
indicator lamp remains lit.
If the fuel tank on a vehicle with diesel
engine has been run dry, there is a pos-
sibility that the engine may not start im-
mediately after refueling because air
may remain in the fuel system.
After refueling:
̈ Switch on the ignition for approxi-
mately 10 seconds.
̈ Start the engine repeatedly for no
more than 60 seconds until it runs
smoothly.
If the engine does not start:
̈ Wait approximately 2 minutes.
̈ Then start the engine repeatedly
again for no more than 60 seconds
until it runs smoothly.
If this attempt also fails, do not continue
to start the engine. Consult an autho-
rized Sprinter Dealer.
Environmental note
H
Have the drained liquid disposed of at an
authorized Sprinter Dealer.
! CAUTION
If the / indicator lamp remains
lit even after draining for the second
time, have the cause checked imme-
diately at an authorized Sprinter
Dealer.
Bleeding the fuel system
i
Too many attempts to start the en-
gine could drain the battery.
