Well guess what, it runs like a top now and i proceeded to hurl that filter in my burn barrel. those damn things are just not meant to be.... [Reply]   [No Email]

I used a G1 Fram and lawn mower filters and never had any issues. If your filter is too restricted then you can have that sort of a problem. I just never had. [Reply]  [No Email]

Took it off and got a new sediment bowl and haven't looked back! I think they're fine for something with a fuel pump but not great for gravity feed. [Reply]  [No Email]
