I ran out of fuel while sleeping , and used this video just now in real time after fueling . I primed the pump for 10 minutes after fueling , and boom the reefer came back to life . This video saved my job , thank you for this !!!!!
It doesn't take that long if you crack open the red bleeder screw that he completely ignored.
Most fuel tanks on refers have a Schroeder valve on top of the tank, crack open that bleeder and blow some air in the tank, it'll fire right up!
Why isn’t he cracking open the bleed bolt
Right....and I learned it has an air plug on the top of tank. A simple blow and you stop, by then you see fuel shooting out the front of trailer.
He is a dummy that's why haha jk jk it took me like 1min really
You will be there 1year pumping that little plunger.
Squirt some air in the tank crack the bleeder bolt till just fuel sprays out then start it
How
Good knowledge
I always just apply a vacuum pump on the return line
All unit are Carrier.? For me tk is better than carrier friendly for repairing mechanic and elertrical regarding carrier display module its better to upgrade more than the old one ist not good visibility specially in day time.
so how does a man get in on reefer repair do i have to go to diesel college if anyone can answer and let me know
Look into thermoking. Not sure where ur at but I’m a master tech for them
Drive for five years and by then you'll learn a lot
Go to a dealer and be willing to learn and not get paid for it. Buy as many quality tools as you can and always ask for help then take notes. Study study study every single day non stop.
Little start fluid fire right up I got 45 units I take care of works every time 1 to 2 min it's going
Where do you spray it ?
@@123nme1 below air cleaner should be rubber hose thete or remove lid to spray on air cleaner not to much just little
@@chadcaldwell3823where is air cleaner
You missing the red bottom!
what about air in fuel line?
That's why you gotta prime it. To get air out of the fuel line, so that fuel gets into the fuel filter.
@@Nihilianth To bleed air, loosen the red button.
He didn’t read the directions😂
Definitely add some 911 treatment to fuel if your going to be driving in freezing conditions!
911 is only for after fuel has gelled. Do not use it regularly it will destroy the high pressure fuel system as it reduces lubrication. Use the grey bottle that says antigel and you should be good. For very low temps double the dosage.
