John Deere A gas tank

My gas tank is depositing stuff into my gas line. It seems to really catch in the upper chambers of the sediment bowl. Can I just unscrew the bowl assembly and replace it with a fitting upon which I could fasten my gas line and then use an in line fuel filter?
Is the bowl assembly hard to remove? Thanks

Dear DJ, Some sediment bowl assemblys have a filter screen tube that goes up into the tank, while others dont, or they are rusted out. Many bowl assemblys are bad about collectign crud and blocking gas flow throught their 2 little side outlet tubes where it flows down into the glass bowl. Its possible to screw it out of the tank if shes not rusted up too bad, but BE CAREFUL beacuse the solder seal where the female pipe outlet fitting attaches up in the tank can break and leak. If you get it out without breaking anything, I would take the tank to a radiator shop to have it cleaned out. They manufacture gas tank lining chemicals also to prevent future rust. Of course, its possible to plumb a fittign and insert an in line fuel filter, but if the tank has a lot of rust and crud, it wont take too long to clog that filter also.

Good Luck n God Bless Ol John T Nordhoff in Indiana
