[C320-list] Fuel pump

[Doug Treff]

Christian is 100% correct. I made this mistake once. With the petcock closed, it introduced a vacuum in the system that pulled air in through various seals and the engine lost its prime. I had to bleed the entire system including the high-pressure side of the system on my Yanmar engine.
