There is a rubber diaphram in the isolator that seperates the fuel and antifreeze. Fuel on the bottom, antifreeze on top. When you get your fuel line hooked up, bleed the air out through the bleed screw on the bottom side of the isolator. Then fill the top side of the isolator and the tubing to the gauge with antifreeze.
Mine has worked great for 2 years. Haven't heard of failure of the diaphram that caused a problem. Hope this helps. Randy
