Great idea! If there is already fuel pressure in the lines, would fuel pour out when trying to tap into the secondary fuel filter? I'd like to install this on my bus.

What if you only have a primary filter, the davco glass globe style on a detroit 60 series

This sounds like my anwser. I have a V6 92TA. I replaced the fuel pump and 6 of its fuel lines. So after the second filter the pump and lines are dry will your method work

You had another video priming a Thomas bus using the same process, bus the 1/4 was too small. I had a skoolie nomad tell me it was a Devon hydraulic coupler. I ordered a 7 16, but I'm not sure if that will work. I have a 04 thomas with a Mercedes 906 rear engine

Well I installed a new fuel pump in a series 60, checked both filters which were full. Would not start and i dont like starter fluid so I did exactly what you said, went to home depot and grabbed a handful of fittings, got a one gallon weed sprayer for 12 bucks and installed it. Worked like a charm instantly. Thank you very much. This is pretty equivalent to the device sold under the Detroit name for $500. Awesome.

You can use a T or you may have another plug in another location on the filter base.

I just changed the filters on my boats 8v71s lost power port side 1/2 mile from dock and am now watching a video on how to prime the motor! After you fill the big primary filter back up with fuel make sure the o-ring is well seated under the lid and lid is on tight. The new filter was years old I think the o-ring it came with was dried out/stiff. Air got into primary fuel canister. Directions said not to use tools to tighten lid but hand tight wasn't enough. Change your filters, boat ran better for sure till the air of course.

The 60 series equipped busses usually have a priming pump built in. Look at your engine bay switch box, you should have a switch that’s labeled prime.
