⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Fuel weeping or dripping from the bowl joint, its seal face or the drain tap
• A cracked, crazed or distorted bowl, or one that will no longer seal however it is tightened
• Air being drawn into the fuel system — hard starting, hunting or a loss of power under load, sometimes with bubbles visible in a clear bowl
• Water and sediment collecting faster than draining can clear it, or a drain tap seized so the bowl cannot be emptied

🛠️ Service Notes

• Renew the O-rings and seals that belong with the bowl whenever it is disturbed, and check each one is seated in its groove before the bowl is drawn up
• Wet the seals with clean fuel or a smear of oil before assembly so they slide into place rather than rolling or pinching
• Tighten the bowl only as the procedure for your engine describes, by hand where specified — over-tightening distorts and cracks a bowl, and a cracked bowl puts fuel into the bilge
• Check the drain tap or plug is closed and sealing, then fill and bleed the fuel system working from the tank end forward
• Check the bowl joint for weeping with the system pressurised and the engine running, and drain off accumulated water at the intervals in your engine's service schedule
