Guys,

I put the Racor filter on the frame, got air in the fuel line "BIG TIME". How do ya get it out? That little pump on the O.E.M. filter ain't getting it. Can I hook up my wifes breast pump to it? http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif

Lift pump with a button under the hood. 1 pump http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif to fill 3 filters.


Now to answer you question. If you have a compressor, you can pressurize the system from the tank to get most of it out and then use the wimp o matic for the last part.Edited by: chuntag95
