SOMETIMES GUNK GATHERS ON THE FILTER ELEMENT INSIDE THE FUEL FILTER AS THE FUEL PUMP IS PUMPING

WHEN FUEL DEMAND IS LOW, OR YOU SHUT 'ER DOWN. THE STUFF FALLS OFF OF THE ELEMENT AND INTO THE HOUSING (SO IT CAN DO THIS ALL OVER AGAIN)

I AIN'T SAYING THIS IS YOUR FIX. BUT IT COULD BE!

MOST PEOPLE NEGLECT THEIR SCHEDULED AND PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE. MOST POPULAR REPAIR MANUALS OUTLINE THIS IN BOTH "TIME" AND "MILEAGE" CHARTS. THEY'RE ABOUT $30, AND SHOW YOU HOW TO MAKE REPAIRS TOO!

MAYBE IT'S TIME FOR A NEW FUEL FILTER ANYWAY?
