Priming the fuel lines

[davepl]

My Dad also knew a guy who was badly burned doing this; but my mom was a burn ward nurse for decades and she saw a -lot- of that. That, plus my first "oil gauge line on header" fire, has made me pretty cautious about gasoline. That and never let the grandparents deep fry with an electric deep fryer on the kitchen island while running the cord to the wall outlet. You can do the math on that one :-(

I do want to reiterate what someone said above: it takes very little pressure (like 3-5 psi) and then patience, though it sounds like sometimes it happens very quickly.

You do not want 100psi of pressure in your tank (which would explode or expand your cab) or your lines, plus you'll be venting fuel and/or air for a long time to get rid of it!
