Curt, nothing more to know about the fitting, It's a fixed restriction,with no
adjustments.I thought I'd pass the thought to you seeing as you may have removed
them, when you replaced the parts. The idea of isolating the fuel system, by
running the lines into a gallon of diesel was a good one. not to get ahead of
things but after looking at the areoquip fuel lines on the one I just bought,
I'd say it's possible that some of the rubber hose that lines the inside could
desinergrate causing a blockage. One other idea would be to make up a clear
hose, add that inline and you can watch for air bubbles. I do know those tiny
fuel pumps won't suck one drop if they're not primed but once they are, they'll
blow fuel from here to the Moon

Welcome to the forum!

Thank you for your input about the restriction fitting. I know where it
is, at the start of the hard line return to the fuel tank. I can remove
it, and I expect to find a small hole in it which should be good to go.
Is there something else about the fitting that I should be aware of?
