    Have ordered and received the Seaboard Squeeze Bulb Priming Kit. Would prefer to install between tank and the Racor off engine filters. I have previously installed RK19671 Vacuum Gauges on the Racors.

    Will having positive pressure in the Racor when priming with the squeeze bulb do damage to the gauges?

    Thanks

    No, it will not hurt your vac gauges and as Rob said, before the filter is the preferred location. It will make your life easy.

    Between the tank and the primary filter(s) is the preferred location and what you will find with most (almost all)setups
