Hey Guys,
This is my first experience with twin racors on a diesel boat. My plan has been to run on one filter (I know this is counter to Frank's method). When that filter needs changing, I change it and switch the valve to the other filter, run on that one until the next change, and so on.
I just did this, but when I changed over to the other filter the engine stalled. Air was in the system and I had to bleed it. It it my understanding that switching fuel filters should not introduce air into the system.
Is my stragety wrong, or do I have a mechanical issue with my set up? This happened to both engines.
Thanks for the comments.
