Ummmm... water...yep hard to tell from a key board
LOL, doing in on the 603 ends up being a diesel bath. I also knocked the vacuum line apart and couldn't figure out why my car wouldn't shut off. Although on the bright side, I learned more about the vacuum system. Ah, memories.

As for the primer pump leaking, my 616 does that pretty bad, although I was still able to prime it when I fixed a hose leak. It's on my to-do list to replace the pump with the updated pump. Hopefully Gayle will have better luck with her pump.

Those fuel clips are a neat idea ... I usually just work really fast so the minimum diesel spills out.
