• Nissan X-Trail 2.2Di Sport - Intermittent Power Loss / Surges - Fuel air leak?? 31 Aug 2014 (Forum)
  3/ Is it normal to have to continue to prime once the engine has started? 4/ Should an air bubble rise from the direction of the fuel pump to the fuel filter outlet when the engine is stopped? Or do I still have an air lock/leak maybe in the fuel pump area? 5/ Should the fuel drain away from beyond the fuel filter if I disconnect the filter outlet pipe or should it hold there waiting for the main fuel pump to suck it in and compress it?
