Depending on the age of your 205 there are two types of fuel filter systems to bleed. Firstly if you have a canister on the left hand side of the engine on the bulkhead - Under screw the plunger handle on top of the filter housing. This will allow the handle to move up and down. Loosen the bleed screw on the outlet union of the filter housing. Pump up the diesel until this flows without air in it, tighten the union. Now you need to loosen an injector union (not the injector itself, just the pipe connection) and perform the same procedure, pump the diesel through until no air, tighten. Now mop up all the diesel spilled. Preheat the engine, push the accellerator to maximum and crank the engine when the glow light goes out. If it starts keep it revving, it will splutter a lot dont let it stop. It will settle down once the air is gone. If it doesnt start you will need to perform the whole task again.
If you have a later model, there will be a black plastic fuel filter closer to the battery with 4 hex screws bolting it together. You will have a squeezy ball too. You need to prime the system by loosening an injector union and pumping ball until the diesel runs without air. Start as the previous method.
