How do I bleed a Camray 5 wall hung boiler fuel line

[js6969]

How do I bleed an oil line on a Camray 5 50/70 wall hung boiler with Riello Type 501T1K burner please (after running out of fuel) ? I'm not a specialist in any way, just a home owner. I know I have to loosen something then wait for a continuous non-spluttering flow of oil to come through. I just can't work out which 'bit' to loosen and don't want to mess anything up .
I've attached three images

If your tank is above the level of the oil filter, the green bowl to the right of the boiler, then loosen the two screws in the top until you get clear fuel weeping out.
Then you need to move to the burner oil pump. Loosen the allen screw on the top right of the pump and if the tank is higher than the burner, then it should bleed naturally.
If the filter and the boiler are higher than the tank, then you need to prime them with suction, the easiest way being by removing the flexible hose from the oil pump, the nut is at the end of the silver elbow. With a piece of preferably clear hose, you can suck oil through. Clear hose will let you see it coming before you get a mouthful.
Alternatively, pay for a techie to come and do it for you.

An outboard motor fuel priming bulb and hose works well for sucking oil from a lower tank up the line. Relatively cheap to buy too.

Thanks both. Sorry for delay in replying I was away for a bit and had already paid the boilerman (aargh) so forgot to log on.

oilhead - just to be clear if I may, the oil pump is the round metal part showing at the bottom of the read plastic housing in my photo? Please be patient, I am a layman.

Thanks everso!
