Was worried about quick connects sucking air, not anymore...

I just converted to E-fuel and i'm going to run some 5/16ths clear vinyl tubing on the suction side for a month so I can see the fuel going in to the pump. I ran it last nite and could see no air at all in the line. That makes me feel better..



Thought i'd share my findings with ya'll

Keep an eye on that vinyl tubing. The diesel fuel could eat through it.

Yeah, I did this to a VW TDI once and found lots of bubbles. When I got the problem solved I put the regular hoses back on.
