Fuel filter sucking air?

[yeroc1982]

I running my truck today and while warming up, I pulled it in for temp check, and I could see air bubbles in the gas line. I pulled out the filter and ran it straight to the tank and seemed to fix it. I can't remember what kind of filter it is, basic aluminum one, unscrews in the middle. Should I seal it somehow or run w/o one?

I kinda had that prob when I first had my fuel filter in, I removed it for a while and when I remounted it I put small tie straps on each end where the fuel tubing fits onto the nipple, as well as at the fitting on the fuel tank. This has seemed to help, no leaks at all.

Thx for the info.
