If you determine whether it is fuel or some other sensor would be my suggestion. I hope I made sense in my description of what I did. It was frustrating because where it was sucking air, there was no fuel leak until I blew on the line.
I will certainly try this tonight. The reason I did not suspect the Racor, because I have changed the filter and O ring just about a month ago. I will get new O ring in and see what happens.
How did you blow the fuel line?
