• Enhanced Safety: Properly seals to prevent leaks and potential damage to the fuel system.
• Improved Power Output: Maintains optimal fuel system pressure, enhancing engine power.

Usage Recommendations

• Preparation: Begin by closing the fuel tank shut-off valve and removing the drain plug from the first stage filter.
• Filter Removal: Use the appropriate filter wrench to turn and remove filters counterclockwise. Replace gaskets as needed.
• Filter Installation: Apply a light film of oil or grease to new filters. Install by hand-tightening the filters, ensuring a proper seal without over-tightening.
• Fuel Bowl Care: Loosen the bail locknut, clean, and replace the element in the fuel bowl if necessary.
• System Bleeding: Fill the fuel tank, open the shut-off valve, and use the hand primer pump to eliminate air in the system.
• Pressure Check: If issues persist, use a PSI gauge to verify the fuel system pressure, which should be between 20 to 30 PSI.

Note: Over-tightening may damage gaskets and filters. Ensure all components are securely in place and the primer pump handle is tightened before starting the engine.
