Re: priming pump
Only time I have ever used the priming pump is when I change the RACOR filters.

Re: priming pump
How do you hook the pump in the fuel system up?

Re: priming pump
It depends on the pump and it is set up. Usually the pump is installed in parallel with a couple of tees and a valve to divert fuel to the pump.
