Fuel draining out of Racor

[Mike Hohnstein]

Might not have one now that I think of it. Added one to my FC at the pusher
pump inlet and life got a lot better. Put one on the gen set one on the diesel
boiler too. Idea is to stop drain back at fuel inlets, you have practical
experience on how that is a bad thing. Fuel injection shops will have them in
stock.

Thanks, Mike for your quick reply...tell me is it located near the
tank or where do you suggest I look?
Thanks again for your reply.
