Renault Clio 1.9D How do I bleed the fuel System?

I unfortunatly allowed the fuel tank to get very low then jacked up the car to work on the steering rack .This has allowed the fuel system to get air in it and now the engine will not start any suggestions welcome.

HI,
On the Clio Mk1 it's detailed in the handbook on page 5.19. The jerk pump has a pipeline going to it and what looks like a banjo union, the union is the bleed point. Slacken the union and operate the priming pump, ( a rubber bulb) thats on the same side of the car. When you are getting no more bubbles from the bleed point, tighten it up.
Cheers now
