Iseki TS 2205 Ran out of fuel

[DonWorrell]

My Iseki TS 2205 ran out of fuel. I got it started to only have it not start one day later.

Here is what happened. I ran out of fuel. We cracked the fuel lines and bled the air and it started. I ran it for about 1/2 a tank of fuel. I parked it and the next day it wouldn't start. I again cracked the lines at the injectors and again I had no fuel.

I worked on it for hours and still can't get it to start. I can't get fuel to the top of the injectors.

I haven't bled the lines at the pump because I am afraid I will open or turn the wrong screws. I have heard there is a bleeding screw on the side of the pump but I am not sure where it is. Does anyone know where it is and does anyone know how to bled these lines.

Also could I have broken the seal when I cracked the lines and if I did how do I reseal them so air won't get into my lines?

I have never owned a diesel before. So I am totally at a lost for fixing this problem.

My guess is that you didn't get one of the fittings tightened up good. I had a similar problem getting my tractor restarted after running out of fuel. Ended up cracking the lines open at the pump and used low pressure compressed air at the fuel fill port to force blead the lines.

There should be one or two bleed screws at the fuel filter. Open slightly (no cranking here) until no more air bubbles come out, then tighten back. Then crack a fuel line at an injector while cranking until no more air bubbles. Should fix it. Have you checked the filter?

We did that one time on a new Oliver 1655. It was very cold and had ice in the line from the tank to the filter. Blew the seam on the tank.

Yep, that can happen. I used 5psi compressed air but still had to be carefull.
