8. Conclusion If the vehicle is losing power, it could be a sign of a clogged in

filter. Replace the filter at the manufacturer's recommended intervals. When the fuel

filter changed or run out of fuel in a diesel vehicle, it requires bleeding the air bubbles

out of the fuel system and then priming it to get new fuel supply. While driving or

operating a vehicle, there are chances that the vehicle may breakdown, get off-road

or met with an accident. In order to recover the vehicle in such circumstances one

must be aware of the recovery procedure of the break down vehicle to bring the

vehicle back to the unit at the earliest.
