I actually hooked up the Roto Diesel pump to a 604 TD parts car I went to
check out, but I could not draw any fuel into the glass bowl (there was
fuel in the tank). So I'm wondering if the priming pump is ok. What can
go wrong with Roto diesel priming filters? I'll try what you suggest and
test it again. --Steve
