Default Re: Racor issues......

I replace quite a few of these every season, s3213, s3214, s3220, s3227 TUL and SUL's are the most popular. When installing the clear bowl, the o-ring gets motor oil on it before installation. No need to crank down on these with brute force. I rarely have seen this problem.
The problem I am seeing and you do want to watch for is the Threads on the plastic cup being affected by Ethanol. You go to snug it up and you think its just about tight and then it pops off.
