Thanks for the input.

I removed the tank screen from the tank and it was covered with "slime"(On paper towel in photo).

The fuel I siphoned from the tank looked clean.

I cut off the screen assembly and put another larger clear filter in the engine compartment. Very easy to monitor and change...even alongside the road. If the tank screen were to clog on a road trip, that would not be fun. I want trash OUT of the fuel tank not forced to remain in the tank because of a screen.

If I can figure out a place for it, I want to install a filter/water separator like the John Deere model in the pic. I got the one in the photo at a yard sale, in a box of misc. filters for about $5.

Car runs great now. Later, Brad.
