[C320-list] ENGINE FUEL PRIME

[Doug Treff]

Lots of good info here - I'll only expand on what others have said - be careful about overtightening the bleed screws on the secondary filter housing. The screws are stainless steel and the housing seems to be some type of aluminum alloy. Very easy to strip the threads in the bleed screw hole and cause a constant fuel leak and also can cause "loss of prime" issues. Mine was damaged by the previous owner and we ended up replacing the entire filter housing assembly to remedy the problem.

As others have said, replace the crush washers periodically. I have a small bag of them on board in my spares kit and replace every third bleed or so.
