i'm assuming you have a TD wagon?

you remove that giant plug on the bottom and the tank drains and you remove the screen

706 540-3285 if you want to discuss

i do it all the time on mine (i run WVO)

i use a giant nut and bolt to fit it

could be sae or metric if it about fits

then you can clean the screen gently ... it's plastic mesh but they clean well

Two Problems.  Air in the lines & bad tank sender.

I have a TD(Touring Diesel) I felt around the output of the tank and can't feel 
any bolts for a tank filter/screen. Took off the fuel line and not a drip. Out 
of fuel with indicating half a tank. There is a big Allen bolt on the bottom of 
the tank. What is that for. I'm assuming I have to tear out part of the back 
of the wagon to access the sender. 

Next problem. I see foaming fuel and air in the line to the injector. I also 
see foaming fuel in the filter. I recently put new o rings on the secondary 
fuel filter shaft. Is there a torque rating for this bolt? I had a loose banjo 
bolt on top of the filter that caused trouble. Fixed. I have new return lines 
but I notice shiny fluid on the #1 injector. The return lines are clean with no 
fuel on them. Can an injector leak air? I'm on return & the system won't purge 
the air fast enough for the car to run smooth. I do run veggie oil and use a 
looped system. I switched to return to purge air but it's not happening fast 
enough for the car to run smooth. I guess I could put the system under pressure 
somehow and see the leak. Maybe I'll take a bicycle inner tube apart and make a 
way to use compressed air to do it. Lawrence Rhodes..
