What should I do if my Hino truck wont start?

If you change fuel filters and it doesn’t seem to want to prime, don’t pressurize the tank with compressed air. There’s a risk of blowing the shaft seal out of the fuel pump. This will fill the crankcase with fuel and blow up the motor, if it ever starts. Just refill all the filters and start cranking the engine.
