I switched out my Racor frame mounted filter..... and installed the
CAT assembly. I now have the same set up as Maverick had done:

In the past, I had primed my pre-OEM Racor by putting air in the
fuel tank which pushed the fuel into the frame mounted canister.
The air exited first until the fuel filled the filter and then diesel
spewed out the Racor filter head bleeder. Doing it this way, I did
not have to monkey with the OEM primer pump.
With the CAT frame mounted filter assembly installed , I opened
up the bleeder screw and tried pressurizing the fuel tank to prime the
CAT filter. It didn't work ????? I couldn't prime it ????
So then I started the engine and let it fill the CAT filter with fuel until
the engine stalled. Then I removed the air from the OEM filter with the
OEM primer. Lots of diesel foam exited the OEM bleeder until I got
clear diesel fuel. So far......... the truck runs!
You guys who have installed the CAT on the frame...... how are you
priming it when you change filters??
Thanks for your help
