Bleeding Procedure...

Hey guys, just a quick question... can anyone tell me the correct bleeding procedure for the 7.3... I was pretty sure cracking the injectors worked... and the schraeder valve... but Im still getting excessive air. Return lines are all brand new and snug. Lifter pump working great... new supply and to tank lines... sump pipe is good. Can't figure out where all the air is coming from. Not the first time ive bled the lines, but holy crap... Was working great one day, not so much the next. Thx for any replies!

tank switch could be bad, and if your return line from factory fuel filter head is diss connected, all air must pass thru IP, try re hooking that up. all air come from the suction side of the system, between lift pump and tank you must be forgetting something.

Crap... I think your right about the selector valve. I accidently switched it to the front tank the other day and tried starting it... My front tank is empty... I have since switched it back, but it must be stuck between the two. Thanks for the insight! Ill play with it tommorow.
