OK y'all I took apart the fuel line coupler in front of the batt box and clamped on a clear tube. Opened the spigots and took this pic. Much to my surprise my 3/4 tank full of diesel is actually around 1/6! Stolen fuel? I dunno but a lot disappeared this week. Anyhow with the tank level at 1/6 fuel will not flow by gravity into the hand primer. That's just for the record. Anything from around half tank on up to full would flow freely out of the feed line up front. Now please y'all be safe this weekend! Dana

Dana, is that tigon tubing that you have for the clear line?  I would not keep it on for long.  That stuff gets very brittle very quickly around fuel (especially gas).

Hey D series I dunno what that line is, I just used it to prove to myself how the system worked and how much of a tankful gravity would push. I have no reason now to use anything but the original lines so they will be hooked back up.
