I have a Racor R230 fuel/water separator. The R230 has a manual primer pump which works kind of like the primer pump on a Coleman camp stove. I installed this one a year ago to replace an older version which was leaking. I just replaced the filter element and now have to prime it (yes I filled the filter with fuel as part of the replacement). Priming with the manual primer is really a pain. It takes A LOT of pumping; so much so that I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong or perhaps should install an electric lift pump. If I go the electric pump route what kind of pump should I be looking at?
