Ive been having fuel issues. I recently changed my fuel filter and it got rid of my CEL but the car is still having slight symptoms of before.

There is crap in my gas tank. Whats the best way of cleaning out the whole fuel system? I mean everything.

removing the fuel tank isnt hard, if you wanna do a super through job. i'd personally remove the rear seats, pop the cap on the tank and inspect the inside first. my car has 160k miles and when i replaced the fuel pump with the 225 walbrow, i was suprised at how clean the inside of the tank was.

there is sea foam in there now, but when i use up this gas thats in there, i want to try and inspect the tank


is there a filter IN the tank? or another filter inline with the "fuel filter"?

i believe in there is a mesh filter that blocks off the big stuff. and then theres the fuel filter. i believe thats it. i may be wrong tho.

Fuel filter under car-- does it look pretty standard? I saw something that looked like one on the driver side near the rear fender well that looked like a brake line filter-- I just glanced so I probably missed the rubber hoses--

Man are some of the designs on these SC's stupid--

do I need to remove the sub to pull the fuel pump?

So we should be able to use a standard fuel filter from any high powered automobile/truck to avoid the crazy steep cost of the oem parts??

right now im using FRAM... fuel filter.. <cross fingers> lets hope nothing happens.. so far its good tho.. or so i think it is.

fuel filter is a hassle to remove. Cuz of all the gas that comes out.
