Question type: General

do you need to prime fuel system after running out of fuel?

2 Answers

Not normally. The electric fuel pump should have the system full of gas in just a few seconds. Diesel engines are another thing though.

Nope, but those pumps are extremely sensitive to being ran dry. It destroys them. Especially if you turned the key on trying to start it over and over.
