How do you bleed a Ford Ranger fuel system?
My Ford Ranger ran out of gas and got air in the fuel system. How do I bleed the fuel system to avoid damaging my engine?

Air in your fuel injection system can definitely cause a big issue. To start, ensure the air isn’t coming from a leak in your fuel system. Once you’ve confirmed that there are no leaks, follow these steps for bleeding the air out of your Ford Ranger’s
fuel
line:- Locate the bleed screw on your fuel system. Check around the top of the fuel filters on the engine.
- Loosen the bleed screw ½ way, or three to four turns. Just make sure not to pull it out all the way.
- Find the fuel pump plunger and manually pump it to cause the aerated fuel to flow from the bleed screw. Keep a cup or rag handy to catch excess fuel that may spill over.
- Stop pumping once pure, bubble-free fuel is flowing. Make sure to tighten the screw firmly to avoid a pressure leak that could cause air to enter the lines again!
