Well I have an old 71 toyota hilux which has a mechanical fuel pump and an old school fuel filter/ sediment catcher thing like this- http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0038U3JD4/ref=asc_df_B0038U3JD41426989?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=pg-1148-95-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395093&creativeASIN=B0038U3JD4

I changed the fuel filter out today- extremely simple- but now the mechanical pump isnt drawing fuel through the system- I think its from the air in the system-

Does anyone know whats wrong or how to bleed the system. All worked fine until I swapped the filter

Thanks [Whoo Whooooo!]

did you put the filter in backwards? does it have an inlet/outlet?
