You should not have any fuel spurting from the primer pump. if fuel squirts out,then you are not getting the full pressure it is applying. If fuel is squirting out, air can also be sucked in.

Replace the primer pump with the new style black one. nothing to unscrew, just pump.

The primer pump pushes fuel from the feed pump to the spinon filter, down to the IP, then back through the spin on return line (Cigar Hose) to the fuel tank.

The primer Pump has no effect on fuel coming out of the Hard lines to the Injectors.

The hard lines from the IP to the fuel Injectors is purged by turning the engine over. Loosen the nuts at the injectors, turn the engine over, and as fuel starts leaking, tighten the nut.

Always fill the spin on filter before replacing it. this will cut your problems 99%

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
