Tank Screen

My 85 300D has had a loping idle since I purchased it in October. Not bad of a lope when started, but rocks badly after a 10 minute freeway run. Last week I actually lost power while trying to accelerate from 55 to 65. The fact that it went from a lope to a fuel starvation issue was key as this finally gave me an excuse to purge the tank. This car has been a Florida car most of its life; has 158,000 miles and is rust free. Check out the tank screen.
Gonna pick up a new one in the pm. Also will be resealing the lift pump. Will give a results report later this week when all back together.

Ended up removing the tank for a power washing and shopvac/mityvac drying out; looks good as new.
