Men dont read instructions

Lawyers do, in preparation for the inquest.

Draw your own conclusions.

Hi all, thanks for the replies. While still accepting all blame, for the record, the Racor that I installed as a replacement does not have a band on it. The one I pulled off did, so I am still at fault. Live and learn!!!

Cheers, Bill
