I tend to differ on the non use of the filter, as people tell me their tank
is clean. So we do not addres it when it comes into our shop.
Well, after picking up the coach they call us all upset and wonder whey
they are having fuel delivery problem.
The Aux tank can be the big source of problem as the fuel is not run down
close to empty and gum build up is removed and captured by the filter.
I do not carry hardly any spare parts crossing the Western states other
than a dist. module , coil and filters. Oh, a fan belt.
