Change your grey fuel lines!

[Trooper182]

I'm going through now and changing out my fuel lines. The amount of green crap is not as bad as I thought but still needs to go. Also cleaned the RAVE valves. Spent 60 bucks on ebay and got a kit with all the hoses, o rings clamps, spark plugs etc. Also fixed my fuel gauge issue (F1 fuse.) Question I have is I changed the oil filter and oil lines. I opened the purge valve and observed oil dripping down but the filter will not fill completely. Also how do I charge the injection lines?

Honestly I would've put some hoseclamps on the oil filter, just me though since when I did the same thing on my hx it'd leak because I couldn't get it tight enough with zipties. I'd just try and finagle with that for a bit, angle it so the air would have an easier path to escape, while also having the bleeder cracked open.

For charging the injection lines just let the motor idle with oil pump arm at wot (bleeder closed), you'll see the oil pulsing through the lines. Might have to repeat the process a couple times since you would be doing this on land and dont want to start getting things too hot.

Good points. I have some old clamps from the lines I removed.
