Jim, kinda strange that the pump would go just after the filter???
wonder if the old pump has a screen that is all crapped up with what
ever was passing on to the filter???? Or do you think it was not a
dirty filter issue but a weak pump??
I have had trucks in service for over 150,000 miles and never have
changed the fuel filters until there was a need then I was changing
the filters every week.
Gone camping with Derek later this month, gotta remember to bring
some coleman fuel for his pump stove. Funny the thing you remember.
