Installed the mega fuel filter pre about 6000 miles ago with no problems. This morning (45 degrees) the truck started up normal and after 5 or 6 seconds, the truck began to stall and died. It would not restart. I reprimed the fuel system (only a small spit of air) and closed the bleed port and pumped it another 5 or 6 times. It then started but cranked a little longer than normally. Now starts fine. Any ideas?
Sunday afternoon:
Put some light air pressure through the filler tube of the fuel tank and cracked open the bleed screw on the kennedy mega filter and wow, lots of air! I wonder if I had ever gotten all the air out of the system at the initial install even though so very little air comes out of the stock bleed port of the OEM filter upon re-bleeding. How often should this thing be bled anyway? I don't think I have any leaks. I did let my last tank of fuel get down to the fume level before I filled...wonder if I didn't gulp some air that way??
