I replaced the fuel filter about 2 months ago and ever since i cant keep air out of the system...i took the filter off and the top o-ring gasket was way to big, so i bought another filter and put it on,..still didnt fix it, so i just took it off again and same thing with the gasket..so i went and bought a gasket that fit better and still keep getting air in..the truck chugs like hell when i turn the chip on 5 and step on it..is there a trick to bleeding the filter(like screw the thing tight while pressing the primer?) thanks for the help

How are you tightening the filter? You can put the filter on hand tight and not have it leak. Later! Frank Edited by: Frank Blum
