Tip for 1st time turbine builders. The air trap has up and down, the pump connection should be lower than the fill, in the case of the Intairco mini trap. I had mine installed upside down.
The mini trap has a built-in filter. But Intairco also recommends a filter between the pump and turbine inlet. The X45 instruction manual recommends that nothing is put between the pump and turbine. If I follow Xicoy's recommendations then I can eliminate the 2nd filter.
I accidentally got fuel all over my Xicoy interface screen and ruined it. And the airplane was finished and I had to tear it apart to clean the fuel spill up.
