Product Overview
This hand primer lets you move fuel through the system and purge air after a filter change, fuel-system repair or empty tank. It helps reduce extended cranking when the fuel system has lost prime.
Before replacing the pump, check the fuel filter, tank pickup and hoses for restrictions or air leaks. Those problems can make a good pump look weak and cause the same hard-start or power-loss symptoms.
