OK, then my hoses are routed wrong, but they are the correct size? They say 5/16- 7.9mm. Here is a pic;

The attachment is a still pic of my routing.
Here is a you tubevideo of my routing with narration;

After looking at the hoses and checking connections, I think this is the reason for my air leak

That connection on the metal line, I was able to turn it by hand. I tightened it as much as I felt I could without striping the worm gears (which I hate). Now there is barely any air bubbles. I feel sure once I re route these lines and get rid of that conection my air problem will be fixed.
I went for a 30 mile drive out to grandmas farm and back. Constant highway speed and at speed acceleration seemed fine. From a stop was ok, but at about 30 mph it would nose dive like it was starving but power would come back and you could continue on down the road.
Now the bad part. After only 30 miles, this is what my brand new filter looks like;

Is that bacteria/algae/microbes? can you tell what it is? Since it took 30 miles from new to look like this, how long do you predict it will last until I need another? I would like to go to a truck show on Saturday, the round trip would be about 150 miles. I think I could do it as I have extra fuel, filters, tools, extra battery and jumpers. What more could I need LOL
