Okay- did that today. The fuel spurts out of the fuel pump when I crank over the engine. The glass bowl fills quickly and then nothing. Meaning, the pressure builds so much in filter one glass bowl that when its unscrewed it SPRAYS out as if it's under pressure - and th engine is obviously not running. The filter will not fill or come out the top of bleeder screw.Stan Disbrow wrote: ↑Sat Aug 25, 2018 4:28 amHi,
Bleeders are on top of the housing, one for each filter. Good point about loosening the fuel cap. And having the tank full. Helps bleeding even when all is A-OK.
As far as the gaskets go, whichever fits right. It has to seal the filter and not block anything. Kind of hard to say anything more without being there. I am unsure why you have different sizes.
At this point, I would pull both filters off and stick a can under #1 and work the primer. Watch what comes out the hole and see if it is clear or not. Then, put #1 on by itself and see how that goes. Ought to fill up and fuel come out inlet hole for #2. Then put #2 filter on and loosen the #2 bleeder and see what happens. If that didn't work, I would pull the outlet line. In other words, follow the fuel path.

There were 3 gaskets to choose from in the napa box. We picked the one that fit best and most represented visually the look of the one being replaced.
I have a video of what I did, but don't know how to post a video here. It's 12 seconds long.
Thanks everyone . Any idea how long a filter will fill up and come out the top, the mechanic was very surprised it and completely baffled it just simply didn't flow out. I'm thinking about removing the gasket at The top to see if it will at least flow through.......???????
