Racor / Vacuum Gauge Question
Hey Gang - I wanted to add a vacuum gauge in my fuel system to monitor how quickly the racor filters are getting loaded up..

I have 2 tanks and 2 racors.. should I add the vacuum gauge after each racor? or just 1 vacuum gauge on the line leading 'to engine' before the pump?

Any insight appreciated.

Re: Racor / Vacuum Gauge Question
assuming you switch between racer’s, one gauge will suffice.
