It must be the "rubber hose"!

Simply loosen it and twist it to make it stay out of the way.

With a little searching, I found this thread. Read it all. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?105744-Fuel-filter-base-question&highlight=freeze+plug+fuel+base+plug And the links in it. Including this one with the freeze plug fix shown with a...

They may have removed the batteries.

Welcome. What is your interest in litters about?

Clean both sealing surfaces around the area of contact(to allow movement). A light application of anti-seize(as Ron suggested) copper or aluminum based. Tighten them all in proper sequence.

Maybe a new stainless steel ball would be a good improvement.

You do not need or use the sensor. It is used only if you have the military specific test equipment that most of us will never own or need. You can't fill that area(to help a leak), it is sucking air in, if it is leaking, and that is what stops you from getting a solid stream of fuel. I...

Yes, it looks wet which indicates it is leaking. Some members have removed the sensor and use a freeze plug(iirc). That may be your problem with bleeding it now.

Or you can remove them, spray lube into them, and blow through them with air. They are notorious for sticking. They require maintenance(occasional lube/testing). They are used in several other places too.

I think it my be your gov lock differential. Somewhat "normal" .

You can try to pressurize the fuel tank, to help get it primed.

Is it turning over like it should? Didn't you have trouble earlier with that?

Dirty is not a worry. Wet would be. That sensor is sealed into the housing, but they are well known to leak and cause an air leak. Any signs of fuel weeping out near it could be a problem. You can spray it off with some cleaner, and wipe or blow it off and watch it for leakage in the future.

Here's the filter parts diagram. Are you referring to #15?

That's not good. It was not supposed to come out when you changed the filter. If it is, then that's the problem.

Not sure what you are refering to.

You could have a leaking filter base(sensor) bad rubber line, rusted steel line, or dirty pickup sock. Sometimes it takes a while to prime the system.
