Is the air in the upstream of the FAV?

Check the inlet hose of the pump is not under and stress due to tight bends. Air bubble can only be created on the inlet side of the pump. the outlet side will only product puddles.

I can't find any leaks or anywhere that air would be getting in through the inlet of the pump, so before moving on down to the fav, I'm wondering if my bend from the tank to the pump may be too much of an angle. Here's a pic.



Also when I manually activate the pump and watch the flow meter, it shows full flow, half flow, quarter flow and bounces around till the pump runs for about 15 seconds it holds full bars. I take it for a drive and it shows full bars and with every pull it drops bars till I have nothing again.

Air has to come in from somewhere. Bubbles will not form in the absensce of air.

Q1 Can you sse where the bubbles starts?
Q2 Can you see them at the outlet of the pump?
Q3 Is the fitting on the inlet of the pump sealing properly?
Q4 Can you take a picture of the inlet fitting of the pump?

I can't see since since my lines are black, I'll double check the fittings.. I noticed some reside on the inlet as outlet fittings, could this be not sealing properly?

The o-ring shoild not be seen between the fitting and the pump body. It looks the inlet is show part of the o-ring. If so, tighten the mertal fitting futer into the inlet of the pump until the o-ring disappears. Perhaps a little bit of clearing first may help.
