Hi,

I've bought a Lucas/CAV/Delphi fuel filter with the water trap to instal as a second filter on my Landcruiser.

I'm having trouble getting the lift pump to suck the fuel through the filter, even after the new filter is fully primed with fuel. I've mounted the filter just under the air filter so it requires the fuel to rise about 200mm to the filter before going back down to the lift pump. However even after I lower the filter it still won't suck through.

Nothing seems to be blocked as I can blow air through with my mouth - great taste too!

Does anyone have any experience with installing these? Do I need to instal it under the vehicle - which I'm reluctant to do as it's likely to get damaged. I'm wondering how strong the lift pump is on suction normally and whether I might have discovered a problem with the pump that I didn't know I had.

Thanks
Tim
