Still getting air

Finished the in tank mod and added a racor 120 with visable water bowl. Trouble is, I'm seeing air bubbles in the bowl. I tried injecting fuel into the vent to purge the air but no luck...so unless this is trapped air, I have an air leak somewhere.

I replaced the 5/16" feed line with 3/8" SS and did the connections with double wall marine grade fuel lines. I haven't gone back to check the tank connection but the rest are tight.

Any idea where the air is coming from?

Guess I'm doing the fuel crossover next



Thanks,

Charlie

My air cleared after a few minutes, how long did you run it? Don't know about your filter, my see through filter had a little air trapped in it. Last time I changed it I noticed it had cleared itself. Click on premium membership to become supporter.
