    Great information! Instead of an electric pump I had added a regular outboard motor hand primer bulb in line from the gas tank. If I remember correctly, I only had to bleed the connections to the filter (and the filter) by loosening them and manual controlling the bleeding as I tighten them (top last).

      That is a great way of doing it and less "parts" to go wrong. I just didn't have the reach around to pump and bleed. ;)

    great info, why not top up the filter with diesel so les air is needed to bleed....

      Yes, I have done that before. Generally, I would add fuel by loosely putting the filter on and opening the fuel petcock, letting gravity do the work. But since I added the electric fuel pump, it does it for me. However, there are kits to use a spin on filter!

    How did you get the Edelbrock electric fuel pump to pump Fuel because they have to be gravity fed I bought two of them before I do you have an app for the manual fuel pump or before

      Good question! Yes, it is gravity feed as my fuel tank is higher. The big Racor filter and Edelbrock fuel pump are the lowest points of my fuel system. Often, these small pumps have to be "primed" by siphoning off the air. This can be done by connecting it to the fuel source and putting your finger over the outlet on and off to create a suction. Air is compressible while the fuel is not. Got to bleed the air out...super important with diesel systems. Also, I just use it for bleeding air from the systems and not all the time because the pressure created could blow the high-pressure injector pump seals out.
