• I am repairing the splits in the two fuel lines under my car. Once I get them repaired, do I need do do anything special to get the air out of the lines? They have completely drained of diesel.
  Thanks,

• As long as the fuel filter is full you should be ok. You'll probably notice some power loss as the lines work themselves clear of air

• I have a outboard boat gas bulb primer installed after the filter and before the I.P. works great! cheap too! and it will tell me if i have blockage or i need a fuel filter change it will collaps when the engine is running!
  so i highly recomend one for everyone!
  thanks Duane
