You wont see air bubbles if the air leak is at the top of the secondary fuel filter. You could try putting a bead of RTV around the edge of the center bolt on the secondary one night & see if that fixes it.
I'll do just that...thanks! First, have to replace the master cylinder so she's safe again before I even move her...I hate sloped driveways!
