my astra van has ran out of diesel, what do i do? does it need bleeding or can i simply re-fuel. It is a 1999

Hi there you need a torx bit to undo the fuel filter which has a black round top and is located at the back right of the engine compartment, fill with diesel or injector cleaner and refit the top, dont lose the rubber seal which slides up the securing bolt or you will never get it started. should fire up keep the accelerator pedal held to keep the revs up for a minute or to. job done ;o)

would remove the filter,just renew if it hasnt been done for a while and manually fill with diesel,refit and open up a couple of injector pipes,crank over to get fuel up to there,close off and give it a go
