Let me start out with I have not had any fuel issues to date. I just need an education.
I have a Racor dual filter system that has a vacuum gauge in the center. I also have a vacuum gauge by the helm that I think is also connected but I haven't confirmed that. The engine is a Cummins 5.9 BT. I have not seen either gauge read any vacuum pressure.
What should the vacuum gauge read under normal operation? What might cause the gauge to not register any vacuum but continue to run well?
Thanks
Tim
