I redid my fuel system in 2010 with all ethanol resistant hose from Applied GMC. At that time, my tanks were spotless and have never had anything in them except E-10, with the exception of a few tanks of E-0 which it ran much better on.
I run through probably about 600 - 700 gallons of gas per year, so I doubt that there is any kind of build-up in my tanks. The only thing I found in the cut open filters was a very minor amount of grit, mostly in the carb filter.
I use Wix filters and understand that the 3/8" in line filters (33033) do not filter as fine particles as the carb filter (33048) so I understand some dirt getting past them. I'm guessing the fuel filters have little to do with the fuel starvation problems that I just can't seem to get a handle on.
Of all of the recommended remedies for this problem, the only ones I have not yet done are in tank fuel pumps, and fuel injection. The frustrating part is that the problem comes and goes and seems to have more to do with the gas - source, winter/summer mix, etc. than anything else.
We head up to Las Vegas on Friday for a trip to visit my daughter, son in law, and two grandchildren, so we'll see how it goes this time.
