I have not been able to get a filter to last 15k. It usually clogs upwell before 15k to cause fuel starvation problems or low fuel PSI. I change mine around 10k or when low fuel PSI problems start to occur.

 

I change mine at least every 3,000 or it will gunk up. I figure its either from poor quality of fuel down here in south Texas, or maybe from having the pedal to the floor smokin'any poorpoor soul who thinks he has a chance. Anyother ideas?

 

Yeah, I'm thinkin that if you hafta change it that often that you've got a LOT of crap in your tank !! If I were you, I'd plan on spending a day dropping your gas tank and totally cleaning it out. You probably got 1 or 2 REALLY bad tanks of fuel and now every time you let the needle go below 1/4 it starts picking the junk up.

 

Thanks for the tip.
Dang, I try to never let it go down to 1/4, but it can't be avoided all the time. Is there any other way? Cause that is a real pain in my you know what. How about a F.A.S.S. don't they also filter the fuel, while it separates the air? I have a buddy who ones a farm, and he lets me fill up whenever we're out there, I know its only legal when we're out there and it may be dirty, but its hard to say no to a free tank worth 75$. However, I dont think it is too dirty because the fuel is never standing very long. Does anyone know of an alterative to dropping the tank?

 

Haynes manual says it it's eveyr 12 months or 15k. I think i'll try that oh btw what fuel filter brand is everyone using? I'm using a fram right now but going to switch out to probably NAPA gold.
