When replacing the top cover with large 0-ring of the Racor (whether you mount
a vacuum gauge on it or not), be sure to not over-tighten it--whether you use
your hand (as Racor recommends IIRC) or a wrench.

Note the vacuum gauge needle is in the yellow. Time to change the
element. I usually put 200+ hours a year on
question, the standard procedure is a 30 um filter/water separator first
and a 2 um final filter on the engine.

I'd be very interested in the outcome. As I said, in my experience both the
old and new Racor filters suffered from the same problem with the 2 micron
cassette installed. A new racor unit was installed as part of the fault
diagnosis.

Charlie,
If you have room or if you relocate the Racor to where you have room,
consider replacing the filter's T-handle with the Racor vacuum gauge. Not
only will you know exactly when to change filter elements but it will
provide you with another tool for troubleshooting a similar proplem in the

Thanks for your responses. To answer some of the questions raised, the pumps
were placed downstream of the Racor for a couple of reasons.
1. The pump original location was upstream of the Racor (30 micron) which was

Put the Racor cover on a flat surface or use a straight edge across the

I have never had much luck with the Racor 200FG which is the smaller
predecessor of the 500. I've completely rebuilt mine with all new o-rings
and I always vent it thoroughly but still manage to accumulate air. My
first question is why you didn't put the fuel pumps as close to the tank

I just went through similar symptoms and fixed it by changing the O-ring gasket
on the primary fuel filter cover

My Beta 28 fuel system has recently developed a penchant for sucking air into
the system somewhere upstream of my electric fuel pumps. (I have 2 installed in
parallel so that I can switch between them if one dies or get clogged, etc.)
These pumps are downstream of my Racor 500 30 micron fuel f
