Reply To: OMC Pressure Tank

The glass bowl gasket got nothing to do with it. That is on the pressure side of the system, and the worst it can do is drip gas.
As bill said, if the pickup tube was stuck, it wouldn’t get gas to the motor, not even by pumping the primer button.
Can we assume the sintered filter in the glass bowl is not partially clogged, not allowing sufficient gas to pass through under normal pressure, but increasing the pressure by pumping the button thereby “fixes” it?
