[C320-list] A question on the Yanmar Seconday Fuel Filter

[jonvez at comcast.net]

As Jeff said, the racor pump works best, but if you do use the lever on the engine, you need to push it all the way down. When you initially push it, it feels like it is fully depressed, but if you put more pressure on it you will find that it depresses a bit more...for future reference...

Regards,

Jon Vez
