To properly prime the fuel filter of a Ford Transit, you'll need to get a hand priming tool. Use the hand pressure pump until the fuel filter is completely filled and the tool feels solid. Keep utilizing the special tool while cranking if needed. Avoid running the engine for more than 10 seconds at a time and let it cool for 30 seconds between cranking attempts. Once the engine starts and idles at normal operating temperature, you can remove the priming tool. It's crucial to fully prime the fuel filter to prevent premature pump failure. These pumps operate at a pressure ranging from 250 to 1800 bar, so ensure there is sufficient diesel for lubrication to prevent pump rollers damage and foreign particles in the fuel reaching the injectors, which could harm the pintel tips.
