How to change Racor filter

[Mike Schmidt]

When I change the Racor filter only and some fuel is lost in the process (no longer filled to the top of the Racor), do I need to refill it to the top?  I have installed the squeeze bulb priming kit between the last chance filter and the Racor, but I’m guessing just squeezing the bulb to prime the Racor in this case won’t work since the last chance filter will remain in place (nowhere for the fuel/air to go to when squeezing the bulb).

I have always refilled mine, but I do not believe a small gap will hurt. I think it will fill itself over time.

The simple solution is to fill with the squeeze bulb before you put the top back on the Racor. Carefully, of course.
