The engine-mounted fuel pump on my Westerbeke pulls fuel from the tank, through a Racor, then to the engine. Shortly after I bought the boat, I experienced problems with air getting into the line. We couldn’t figure out where, so we installed an electric pump between the tank and the Racor, so now fuel is pushed from a point just after the tank (in addition to being pulled from the engine). This solved the air bubble problem. While we were at it, we installed a cheap in-line fuel filter just before the electric pump.

Those do look like typical compression fittings on the Racor and IMO should be suspect. Josh Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
