  I've just had the thermo switch thing allow it to suck air.  Dad's did 
that after we changed filters.  Replaced it and all was well for a year 
and a half.  Then it left him stuck on the side of the road in Winter.  
We replaced it with a brass fitting and the A2 style filter. I WAS NOT 
willing to risk him getting stranded again!
