He that's interesting, you can order spare parts for this thing? Yes I only ordered the aluminium part where the fuel filter screws on to.

Through my MOPAR supplier though: $130...

No electronic lift pump on mine as far as I know, just the flimsy hand pump.

That's that other plastic thing you see in the pic, you unscrew it and then you pump until fuel comes out of the bleeder.

On mine fuel also spils through that plastic cap in front of the pump and leaks along the plunger of the pump.

I guess its dead.

It starts up fine when cold but not when engine is hot.

I have the racor in my 2004 2.8 CRD, may be i don't have the Variable turbo? may be I don't have 167HP !!! do you have a "how to" to change the filter element?

I just received on of these, and an extra filter. I will be installing it soon.

Look at the price of the replacement filters!!!!!!!!!

Hard starting when hot is usually not a sign of an air leak. Air leaks are usually manifested as hard starts when cold after sitting all night letting the fuel drain back down the line, as well as sputtering and dieing when under hard acceleration, or immediately after accelerating. What you describe sounds like a bad check valve in the line. When a hot engine is shut down, the fuel in the IP and close to the engine will release vapor or even boil if hot enough, essentially causing a vapor lock. If there is no functioning check valve an air bubble develops in the line between the filter and IP. As it cools the bubble contracts and goes back into solution, so when cold it starts fine. Sometimes D1 winter diesel will cause these symptoms when the ambient environmental temperature is too warm also. I have also had this problem develop when I've added too much gasoline to my blends.

I just so happen to have the same Racor head along with a new R25P filter and bowel. First $60 can have it.
