Tech Tip#22: Electric Priming Pumps for changing diesel fuel filters

Another quick, but super useful TechTip. We have been setting boats up like this for years and thought we should share. After our technicians have changed a few filters in the lab without the benefit of a pump, we show them this trick. Saves time & money so if you have a diesel engines consider adding a priming pump. Side note: It will also work as a low-pressure pump in the event the engine pump gives up.
