Hello, where is the bulb to fill the filter?

Philippe oliver - Reply

I found a priming pump, it is located just above the injectors, a large black tube, you will find it on a 3008 from 2010

Hello, I don't see how to prime and bring in the diesel to restart the car. The car is from 12/2012.

THANKS

When I open the purge, all the diesel empties out through the drain hole at the bottom.
