Re: Good reason to Replace the Fuel Filter
When I did my fuel pump the tank was spotless in there! I was surprised to see it so clean!

Re: Good reason to Replace the Fuel Filter
any day now, i'll have to replace the fuel pump. i am going to pull the tank and see exactly whats happening in there - it's like a crap explosion in there. first i think i'll take a look at my current filter in a few months to see if it is trashed also. they are so cheap. no reason to wait too long, right?

Re: Good reason to Replace the Fuel Filter
The fuel pump itself may not need changing but the pickup/strainer/filter on the FP is probably pretty filthy and making the pump work a lot harder than it has to.
