A couple of things to note:The IP pumps lots of fuel back out to the tank while using comparatively little for the injectors. This circulation cools and lubricates the IP while it maniacally slaves on top of a 100oC engine.You might want to setup a quart bottle of clean fuel with clear lines to and from the IP, to deal with just the pump and not the fuel supply. Once the engine is running off the bottle, you can stop and hook up the filter and tank lines.At the moment the IP bottom is dry... at operating speeds, the IP case internal pressure can range from 40psi to 150psi.
