Bleeding Fuel on B7510

[scottbennet]

I just recently bought a used B7510. In reading the manual, the procedure for bleeding the fuel system says:

1. Fill the fuel tank w/ fuel
2. Start the engine & run for about 30 seconds & then stop.

How does that bleed air ? I've had diesels for a few years and you have to crack a bleed screw or crack one of the injector lines at the injectors. Any thoughts ? Thanks.

All the Kubotas I've had over the yrs had one of 2 things on them.
1. A knob where the fuel line hooks to the pump that you screw open and then crank the engine over until it cranks then close the knob or,
2. A hollow bolt where the line goes in the pump that you loosen and crank the engine over until the fuel squirts out then tighten the bolt and crank it up. Some do have a bleeder screw on the top of the fuel filter to allow you to bleed the air from the filter during service but still have either the hollow bolt or the knob at the pump.
