Thank you very much for enlightening me...figures. Glad to know I was correct about the switch/knob...not so thrilled about my application of too much torque on it. I need to fix that ASAP, right? Since I don't know when the filters were replaced I guess I should just go ahead and replace the main and pre-filter with all the O-rings, correct? I'll do a search on orings and fuel filter etc...to see what I can learn.

Do you have any tips on search terms that would enable me to trace down that vacuum consolidator (for lack of a better/accurate name) at the firewall?

Thanks again Terry!
