Why is there air bubbles in my fuel filter?
Air bubbles are caused by any air leak on the vacuum (suc‑ tion) side of the fuel system from the fuel tank pick‑up to, and including the lift pump (see Figure 1). If there is an air leak in the fuel system, air bubbles will be present in the clear cover of the Fuel Pro.
Should I see air bubbles in my fuel filter?
Bubbles (and partially filled filter) are normal. You would have to isolate the line(s) and run a vacuum test to ascertain they are air tight. Vapor lock happens on the suction side of the fuel pump. Fuel percolation is the evaporation of fuel in the carb bowls/inlet line if there is significant heat soak.
What causes pressure build up in fuel tank?
Vapor Pressure Builds From Heat The gasses released from liquid gasoline in a sealed container (the gas tank) are directly affected by the temperature of the gasoline; the higher the temperature is, the more pressure builds in the container. Vaporized molecules will condense and pressure will reduce.

What to do when your fuel line is bleeding air?
Open the bleed plug on the filter closest to the fuel tank. 6. Open fuel supply valve so that the fuel is available to the filter and pump. 7. Most all equipment has a hand priming pump lever to pump fuel through the system and replace trapped air. (Check operator’s manual.) Pump several times until full
How do you fix a bleed plug in a fuel pump?
Most all equipment has a hand priming pump lever to pump fuel through the system and replace trapped air. (Check operator’s manual.) Pump several times until full flow, without air bubbles, escapes from the bleed plug holes. 8. You may need to bleed filters, fuel pump and lines to the injectors.
