Okay , I now have the new fuel /water separator for the 8V92 plumbed and filled with fuel . A little apprehensive about attempting start up .
When I removed the hoses from the original ConMet separator there was only a slight amount of fuel in the lines although the separator felt full . Both hoses go upward , head in their respective directions . The engine had been started and warmed up a few days prior to removing hoses . I am concerned ( terrified ) about getting air into the system , but it seems to have been working this way . The primary and secondary spin on filters at the engine have not been disturbed .
I am in the middle of a very lengthy fuel aeration /stalling problem with the generator ( will post in appropriate area ) , would rather not have another nightmare ....
Appreciate any input !
Hope everyone is well ,
Thanks , Chris
