Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: Tiny Chunks In Fuel

My fuel has been clear,but after 150-200miles I can tell when screen gets clogged.So I blow thru it with a air gun (with cap off).Sometimes I leave a little pressure in it for fun.I've been using same primary for months clean with carb cleaner or wd40.My 5 micron filter was full of that stuff too.
