Subject:Fuel Filter "Update" Results

Hi all.

Did some reading on fuel pump cavitation. Though it seemed that the
small ID on outlet of older model year tanks was the main culprit, It
appeared some had success by removing the pre pump filter and
installing a post pump filter only. So I deleted the pre pump filter,
and installed a post pump canister type

Prior, with new tank + reseal/FP/filters/hoses, at idle, FP noise was
~ 70% intermittent. After update, at idle, noise 100%.

PIcs, with a few notes

Of course YMMV, but for me, this didn't help.

Neil.
