Pull the brown vacuum line off the shut off valve. Put the vacuum hose from the Mity Vac in its place. Pull a vacuum.

Thanks Kerry,

I did this but it still pumped fuel, I'd put about 15 PSI on the vacuum with the mighty vac, it held the vacuum, but didn't seem to pull the shut off valve. Turns out I'm dense and didn't know the mighty vac was set to pressure rather than vacuum....duhhhhhhh.

Yeah, I didn't even know it was switchable, thought it was strictly a vacuum pump. So, those pieces or paper inside I think they are called instructions are important sometimes.
