Re: seperator o-ring replacement...my first write up
All:
I changed my O-rings tonight. It was not a 1 hour job...not for an old man with big hands. I found that by removing a couple of connections on the manifold behind and just above the fuel filter housing that I could gain a few precious centimeters of clearance. And, can you believe the number of sharp edges on the back side of the fuel filter housing? My hands feel like they've been in a meat grinder. But....we no leaky now!
Somewhere in here someone mentioned an old diesel trick of adding a little oil to each tank of fuel for extra lube. I've started adding a pint of 2 stroke injector oil to every fill up. Don't know if it'll help keep my seals fresh, but it's worth a try.
