1 month ago March 13, 2024 at 4:01 am I recently started catching air in my fuel system.Ā All component of the fuel system are less than five years old (tanks, lines, valves,etc)Ā The Racors were not catching air but the secondary filter on the engine was.Ā The fuel filter would be down quite a bit on the secondary.Ā To try to narrow things down I bypassed the secondary, changed the primary to a small micron, and ran the motor.Ā I don’t seem to be getting air anymore.Ā My thro…
