Just a few more tips. I always use the clear inline filter as opposed to the opaque, because if you suspect any kind of fuel problem like dirty fuel or an air leak, the clear lets you check it at a glance. If you have the early version spin on housing with a 22mm head hollow screw, and it leaks when you are done,replace it with an upgraded 24mm head hollow screw unit. You'll never get the leak to stop. You can bleed the system by tightening everything up and pumping the hand pump until you hear a little squeaking sound with each stroke. Then start the car. If it runs a bit and dies, repeat the procedure. Last tip is in regard to the hand pump. If you start to pump and it gushes fuel with every stroke, replace it to save future grief of air in the system. Also you can check for restriction with the hand pump. If you pull it up and it sucks back down on its own, you have a restriction in the line or tank.

Good luck,
Peter
