  • Fuel Line Primer pump (bulb)

    Opening season today for my F150 and going through my normal check list
    it was observed the fuel bulb is reversed (arrow pointing forward). Though boat is new (less than 7 hours) and ran fine last fall are the fuel injected engines fine with a reversed bulb ?

    I'll give my 2 cents..


    My F115 has never really needed priming so if the bulb was pointed one way or the other then I might not even know it, that being said if I knew it was backwards I'd probably want to change because I think that arrow is there for a reason?


    Here is a pretty good write up about primer bulbs.
