Description
Overview:
The Sealey Diesel & Petrol Fuel Pump Priming Tool, Part No. VSE055, is a hand-operated device for removing air and drawing fuel through the lines after maintenance. Built from robust, fuel-resistant materials, it helps restore fuel supply to injection pumps and carburettors on petrol and diesel systems found in cars, vans, small plant, generators, and garden machinery. It connects inline using standard fuel hose and includes two pipe clips for a secure fit. Compatible with 9 mm bore hoses, which equates to about 0.35 inch (≈8.9 mm), it suits many common fuel setups. The compact form makes it easy to keep in a toolbox or vehicle, and its straightforward operation reduces cranking time and the risk of dry-running pumps during servicing.
