@ kingshukt > good suggestion.

@ Juda > doesnt seem to be a serious problem.
Leave it to the dealer to sort if you cant do as kingshukt as advised. Im sure its a matter of air still trapped in the fuel lines. Stay posted.

Why 65? Was it the max it could take?

Sir, with your expert knowledge, please post a picture of plunger for our learning. That would help.

65ltr is the official documented fuel tank capacity for Safari 2.2 and so it fills no more as I had too experienced.

I am no expert. I am in infact when it comes to the complex engines of today.

All my so called "expertise" comes with the ownership of a Sierra for the last 10 years - Not that the car gave me too much trouble, It was the ignorant TASS (with expertise in Tata Trucks) which made me do the running-around.

I did try to look for the primping pump (it is mentioned in the Owners manual also) but could not find it. May be other T-BHPians like Juda who have had to prime their pumps when they ran out of fuel can tell us where it is located so that I can take a photo of the Plunger and post it.
It is very similar to a Kersone stove principle where you unscrew the plunger, pump the stove and screw back the plunger.

The priming pump is mentioned in the manual, I can lookup the page number if you want. But am posting picture below, stolen from bglrsrini's thread and marked.

OT:
I have been strongly advised to not try "mileage marathons" with the safari 2.2 . Its mandatory to refill even before the low fuel warning light comes on to avoid headaches with these fuel -sensitive common rails especially.

From the photo, the marked item does not look to be the priming pump. However I will have relook.

P.S: The manual was the 1st place that I looked. The prining pump is mentioned in a 2 line para - no photograph(s)
