[AT] fuel Fitting identification

[carl gogol]

Gene-
Thanks for the message.  I had some parts come in for another job at the 
nearby Case IH dealer and took the line, old pump and fittings with me.  The 
parts man found another set of rubber sleeves for me.  Tractor is back 
running with no leaks.  Now am I reading emails.  The fittings I have use a 
male connector to compress the rubber from one end.  The rubber sleeve is 
contained in a counterbore in the female portion.  The squeezing from the 
end just forces the rubber into the remaining pocket.
I had never bled a diesel system before and probably did way too much manual 
pumping to make sure the air was out at all four bleed points.  I somehow 
had the impression that the slightest air would mess it up, I must have 
pumped 300 strokes to fill the filters and lines before instantly starting 
it.
