How to prime the fuel on a Carrier reefer unit.

This video is the best 👍. This video is professionally explaining how to prime a Carrier Reefer after the system ran out of diesel fuel & you have added fuel to the 50 gallon tank. I open the air valve all the way open , perform 400 pumps, close the air valve and my Carrier Reefer started running on the 2nd start. This video is the best !

Your Video Helped me a lot ! After changing oil and all filters I started a unit and its shuts down . After many attempts I couldnt get it started . I cleaned a RPM sensor and fiel screens . Its showed me A42 and A130 engine stalled and High RPM sensor. It is a sighn of not enough fuel pressure in the system. I opened up a sec valve " red " pumped 200 times than closed the " red valve " and pumped a 100 pumps as you instructed and Bingo its started right up. My unit is Carrier Transivold Adbance . Thank you very much !😊

Is it possible to pressurize the inlet side of the fuel filter housing with fuel and crack the fuel nozzle line nuts to bleed the system , retighten and start unit . I would say 10 / 15 lbs. pressure . Either with a 12 volt fuel pump or pressurized container . Everything I read is about pushing the primer more than 100 or more times .

So even if you run the engine dry and sucked in a shit ton of air into the system you just keep pumping? Because I've heard that you have to take the fuel line off of the fuel filter while pumping to get the air out of the system and when fuel starts coming out of the line you connect it back onto the fuel filter.

Yes, just keep pumping and it should eventually prime. If it does not you could have a small leak in your system. Removing the fuel filter will give you visibility to when the fuel has been pulled from the tank because fuel will spill out of the line. While the fuel filter is disconnected you also have the option to pour fuel into the filter to help prime it more quickly. Many reefer shops have air adapters with pressure regulators(
