Racor Filter

[Tom Warner]

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 . And for the syphon to work the
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?
