It's for my B2150. I was told that if I filled the fuel bowl when reassembling the fuel filter, that I wouldn't need to bleed the lines. The manual states that there are 2 valves the are opened and that bleeds the system after it's run out of fuel, but I only replaced the filter. It's really cold out and don't want to run the tractor if it's not needed at the time. The manual also said that after running, the valve #2 should be closed so there wouldn't be any problems later. I found the #2 valve in the open position when I checked and have run it that way since I bought the tractor a while ago. Thanks for any input.
After replacing the fuel filter do the lines need to bled?

There should be a small phillips screw on the top of the filter housing. Use this to bleed air from the filter and you should be good. That is all I ever had to do on my B7100 and my B2400.

If the #2 valve is on the side of the fuel injection pump, yes it will run with that valve open, but it's better for it to be closed as that will deliver 100% of the fuel to the injection pump, and not just allow extra fuel not to just return to the fuel tank.
