<div style="color:black;font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would advise against using gasoline, ether or WD40 if the engine has glow plugs.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The two Kubota engines I own have return lines to the tank and seem to be pretty much self bleeding. I just let the electric supply </div>
<div>pump run for a minute or so and they fire right up.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>To bleed the individual injector lines you need to crank the engine over when cracking the lines.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Something I have had a problem with was gunk clogging the outlet in the tank. My Kubota powered Cub Cadet 882</div>
<div>had a screen for the tank outlet and it has clogged up several times and acts like the OP described.</div>
<div>I eliminated the screen since it is much harder to get to than the two other filters in the system.<br>

<div>I’ve wondered how often that method accidentally finds a plug wire with bad

<div class="yiv7386485309MsoNormal">Anybody use propane/MAPP? Unlit torch pointing into the

success, but not so sure about diesel. Since we're talking about
gas-soaked rags or gas-soaked air filters on diesel engines, seems like a
similar approach. </div>
