Default Fuel Polishing, in general

My filters are about 2' above the tank, unfortunately. Thus the
question about using the priming pump as filler.


If the polishing system is totally seperate from the engine
fuel feed, you can't. But you could connect the discharge of
the polishing pump to the upstream side of the engine
filters and use that to prime the system. Put in a needle
valve so you can throttle the flow.

This could also be a big help spotting air leaks in your
fuel feed line. Happens often and can be very frustrating.
