17. Getting those fuel lines back on the pump can be a pain once they have new o-ring on them.

Picture 1: You can place the blade of a flat screwdriver on the line fitting, like so . . . (yeah, that’s a dirty old line I tested it out on first)

Picture 2: . . and then gently, tap it down in ( I used a rubber mallet – gently).
