I have a TL2700. I need to bleed the air from the fuel system. Where are all the bleeders? There are 2 on the fuel filter housing? One on the side of the pump? Is there one on the top of the pump? Thanks for the help.

Not familiar with your tractor but here's what I do on most diesels. As long as the filter is already primed and blead I go straight to the injectors. Crack your fuel lines at the injectors and crank the engine until fuel shows at the injector nut's. Don't loosen them to much, just a 1/4 turn is engough. Once fuel appears at each injector tighten them and start-er-up! One word of caution though. Don't crank the engine to long you don't want to burn up your starter.

I've seen a long time Yanmar dealer post the procedure below. He says he has never had to to crack the injector lines:

Bleed from the pump back to the tank. First open the bleeder on the pump and let the air out. Then the bleeder at the output side of the filter, then the one on the inlet side. That's all.
