Thanks for the tutorial and your advice. Same: the car restarts and stalls. Repriming with the pump is ineffective. I struggled for 2 hours to assemble / disassemble, pump...

I bought a 100ml syringe with tube (aquarium type), and I directly filled the filter (repositioned in the engine) with +/- 400ml through the white hose (the 2nd), left the green one disconnected (the 3rd) until it overflowed. Remember to open your tank, because an air vacuum is created. To recover the GO during disassembly, the filter is exactly the diameter of a 175cl bottle of coke cut. We recover it to refill (although plan for a top-up!)

You must indeed pay attention to ensuring that the purge is at the bottom, facing the passenger compartment.

Finally, 2-3 pump strokes and 2 kicks of the starter and off we go. Not easy for a first time!

Do you put the diesel in the white hose or on the inlet where it is clipped?

After pumping for a while the car did not start. Take a picture before removing the filter. Indeed when reassembling, the stop of the purge connector must be positioned under the stop of the filter support (plastic block supporting the filter) in the low position. By pushing the purge connector towards the rear of the vehicle, press on it by pushing it towards the rear so that in the low position the purge connector will lock and close the purge outlet under the filter. Pump for a few moments and try to start. The displacement is not 1/4 but more 1/8 only
