Thanks Fender!!

I was getting air bubbles and it was driving me nuts! I had posted a video and a whole rundown... at the same time Dieselman1220 and I were texting back and fourth troubleshooting it when I solved the issue. I was refueling to do another test run and the UAT started leaking... BOOM! Problem solved!

just trying to decide to hysol everything or just replace it? LMAO

Interesting I just pulled my tomcat apart for the same issue lol a little solvent to clean the oils off and hysol then reassemble for me. I love the MAP high flow for twins but putting metal fittings into plastic with pos and negative pressure isn’t the best design.

Glad it was an easy fix. You thought you'd have to tear deeper into the fuel system and tanks below.

Mine turned into a disaster repair! As I took it apart to investigate, I found the threaded nipple was bottomed out on the internal filter. It seems that the female threaded portion was about 2-3 threads shy when tapped. And of course when I bit down on the nipple to tighten her up she snapped.

And just like that I will be buying a new UAT...

:p

Can you replace the nipple?

Yes, but the threads snapped clean and flush inside the other piece your holding with the o-ring.

I thought about re-tapping ect, but by then I was too mad to think clearly...”just being honest” LOL

lets just say things went flying...
