Ford 1700 diesle ran out of fuel cant start now

ken i think i need to bleed any idea how or the best way to do this? thanks ken
Stan Wilhite I also ran a diesel out of fuel once, and diesel mechanic buddy of mine showed me a neat trick. Soak a rag in gas, wring it out tightly, then hold it over the air intake while spinning the motor over....mine fired right up! I held the rag there until the motor picked the diesel fuel up. Good luck! Stan Wilhite Decatur AL.
LE You need to bleed the fuel system to properly start a Diesel that has run out of fuel. Remember it is not gas its diesel.
