I tried earlier to get rid of any air just to see if that is the problem before I call a mechanic but I still it will not start. Here is what I tried, maybe someone can point me in the right direction as I dont know what I'm doing. I removed the 3 pipes from the fuel filter and using a syringe, I filled the filter up with diesel through the inlet pipe (the one coming from the tank). After that I filled the pipe that runs into the engine (the middle of the three pipes). I replaced two of the pipes leaving only the outlet pipe off and turned the engine over a little just to confirm that fuel is coming out. Once I confirmed that fuel was coming out of the filter I replaced the middle pipe and tried to start the car but to no avail. Am I doing something wrong or is the problem just not air?
