DD15 No Start is a common issue we see in our shop. We usually see this after a maintenance where the DD15 was not primed and purged correctly using a Detroit approved priming tool. 2 minutes with the priming tool is what is recommended by Detroit.

Im so glad to see you and your new shop doing so great. I just get aggravated watching these old school guys and mechanics still trying to repair these modern space age machines without reading the manual or using the correct factory auth tools. Kudos to yo young man. Have a pleasant day in Texas. Bill

I prime mine by the little pump When I change my 3 filters I fill up the big middle filter housing with diesel put back on housing tighten down I then open the cap on the water fuel separator housing I pour fuel into there about 3/4 full and pump away you can see the fuel go down in the separator bowl I do this while I’m changing my oil and over 30 mins I pump and refill separator bowl pump fill pump fill and 95% of the time it fires right up or spins over less than a minute and fires up I don’t have the tool but this purges mine pretty good. Last shop that did mine when I picked it up it wouldn’t start until constant spinning over and over for 10 mins that’s why I do my own now

[@mickromer6199]

We use a 12v inline electric fuel pump we put one end in the tank clip the other on the port and just have a set of alligator clips we hook to the closest power and earth.. works great.. also use it for series 60 with an adaptor

[@shaneshane1379]

That pump spayer is not necessary when doing filter changes, but very helpful when doing top end repair involving injector removal. For the do it your self guys. Just fill the frame mounted filter all the way full and leave the cap loose. Before installing the small cap on the main filter or medium size cap for the earlier filter model, fill the main housing with fuel to the top of the little cap. Put the little cap on and start pumping. Pay attention to the level in the frame filter. When that level reduces to 1 inch above the big black nut thing, tighten the top cap nut. Start pumping agint 100 strokes. Then crank the engine for 10 seconds. If it doesn't start, pump another 100 strokes. Then it will start. If you can manage to do good clean work and pay attention to detail, I suggest you leave the main filter housing alone!

[@californiadreaming9216]

Shane Shane hi. Thank you so much for info re: priming a DD15 engine. I think I follow your advice, and I'm assuming you have had success with method you have described. Let me see if I understand you correctly: you are saying refill the fuel system at the fuel/water separator tank (big, transparent one near front of engine) and using plunger-type hand pump at multi-filter fuel filter assembly beside fuel pump in order to prime fuel system after fuel system repair such as injector replacement. Is this correct Shane? And have you done this successfully? I appreciate your input, thank you.

[@orlanmedina3693]

What about the manual prime pump? I've gotten started with the manual pump. Is there for a reason

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

Orlan, sound like its losing its primp while sitting. Could be fuel lines, I would have the fuel system checked out.

[@stevenliberadzki9160]

The prime oump on the housing is there exactly for priming. You're correct. The way shown in this video is simply doing it way way quicker. Although is not a approved way. The manual pump via detroit also purges the air in the system while it primes. It's better for unit to use the manual pump. There is approved tools which detroit uses. It's called a furl ESOC. Not cheap but what is approved. Idk where he thought you were losing prime. But I've found the easiest way to lose prime is through your fuel water separator. Make sure it has a good seal. When changing the filter in it seems some forget to change the gasket or don't put a gasket back in at all. Bad move. You'll see no fuel in it meaning it's lost the prime somehow. If that has no fuel in it the truck most likely won't start. If it does only for a few moments. Gl. Any question I'm betting I can help.

[@alexfigueroa9775]

I have a question I'm hoping you have an answer for. So I had a mechanic replace the fuel filter on my 09 freighliner DD15. It has been updated to the 2 fuel filter system. After they replaced the fuel filter, it did not start. After they diagnosed the issue, the conclusion was the fuel module was the problem. My question is, are they at fault for the fuel module being damaged after fuel filter change or is that a common occurrence? Thanks in advance

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

Alex if you already updated to the 2 filter system it should not fail again. I would ensure the tech is troubleshooting correctly.

[@alexfigueroa9775]

@@TATEXPRESSINC Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate it. The shop had to hire a Detroit diesel specialist to come and diagnose the problem. They said they could not find the issue and suspect the control module. But the truck started just fine when I brought it to shop. They change fuel filter Now it doesn't want to start. I'm wondering if they made a mistake with install that damaged module or if it something else. Lesson learned, when I'm near Hutchins I will take my truck for scheduled maintenance to you guys. Thanks again

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

No problem Alex thanks for watching. We have gotten calls for trucks not starting after filter change and we find filters not installed correctly or fuel system not primed before start up. What was the solution for your no start?

[@alexfigueroa9775]

@@TATEXPRESSINC Its in the shop right now. the Detroit Diesel company the shop hired said they could not find the problem. So the only problem the specialist could speculate was the fuel control module. Now the shop is in the process of replacing it out now.

Alex, didn’t you say that module was just recently updated? If so it should not have failed. I hope they get you back on the road. Thanks for reaching out to us.

[@stevenliberadzki9160]

The only approved part of your priming tool there was the fitting and shut off valve. Detroit since the dd15 came out has said the only approved tool to prime the system is the ESOC priming system. Same for the Davco system for the fuel separator. Your system works for a start I suppose. But the for the dd15 system you refill with what's said as low pressure and start with what's said high pressure. Your "approved" system have neither reading on it so it's unknown. Maybe delete this video and show people the proper way using an ESOC.
