[Vwdiesel] Air in fuel lines

[Val Christian]

Keep in mind that for a given pressure differential, there will be more
air leakage than fuel leakage.  

I suppose it's a good thing we're not running at high altitude with a
more volatile fuel...then we could have fuel vaporization or pump 
cavatation.

Pressurized fuel would help filtration because the filter would work 
better through a range of loading.
