Going to change my filters. Do I need to fill the new filters with fuel before installing or can I install them dry? Thanks
 
Some folks fill theirs but I never have. I pump the bulb for about 30 seconds and never had an issue. If everything is working, the filters should fill
 
When you replace the filter and pump the bulb (a little longer than usual) you are filling the filter. I wouldnt try and prime the lines with any empty filter using the engine choke, the bulb works great.
 
whats that ring for?

Inside the racor replacement filter box is a pack with a new rubber seal that goes on top of the fitler to seal it against the filter housing when its' screwed hand-tight, and another thin rubber seal that goes between the ("glass") plastic bowl and the bottom of the filter...okay I get those....

But they also include a small 1 and 1/2 or 2 inch diameter rubber seal, WTF is that for?
I just put it over the tube that extends down inside the bowl, but I can't figure out what it's fuction is...

any ideas?
 
FK Are you replacing the filters inside the motor cover? I have those on each engine but the filters I'm referring to are similar to a normal oil filter that go inline.
 
Sometimes they provide a rubber o ring for the water drain valve at the bottom of the Racor...
