[AT] diesel won't start

[Richard Fink Sr]

Jeff take and old inter tube and cut out the valve section about 6 inches 
all around. Put it over the fill hole and put a hose clamp around it. Don't 
put a stem in it just apply low air pressure to it. this will move the fuel 
down through the filter easier. You may need to crack the injector lines at 
the top of pump or at head. Hope this helps
