Tomorrow I think I will try it with taking the top off of the Racor & see if that doesn't brake the siphon. I had never tried to drain it before Just a little to get any settlement out of it. Tom I know the key wasn't on in the rear because it will start from up front& it won't if the key is on in the rear. Don 89 SP 36' Butler, PA [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |

If you got more then a coffee can out of your racor, then you were
syphoning it out of the tank. No matter how hard you try you cant get a gallon of diesel from a quart jar racor does not have to be below the tank. If the lines are already filled and I assume they were, you could probably have taken fuel out of the bottom of the racor until you ran the tank dry. I have a strong feeling that you had the key on maybe from the rear? tom 1982 FC35 Vernon Center,NY At 10:43 PM 7/9/2005 -0400, you wrote: >Hi All I have a dumb question about the racor filter.

About four days ago I did the same thing. If you take the cap of the top of
the racor, it will no longer siphon from the tank. dandarst86fc35rbhuntleyil. >From: dspithaler@... >Reply-To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com >To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com >Subject: Re: [WanderlodgeForum] Racor Filter >Date: Sat, 9 Jul 2005 23:09:57 EDT > > >In a message dated 7/9/2005 10:55:29 P.M.
