I haven't changed the can type fuel filter since I got the car about 9 mos ago nor have I checked the screen in the tank. The "see through" filter looks clean with no visible debris or discoloring. I'm assuming I have good fuel delivery since I feel a good pulse in the lines. One thing though I have a suspect injector since one of them makes a bit of a noticable tick. I've tried to isolate it by cracking the lines but it seems the tick goes away when I crack any of them but one seems make the tick go away more than the others. If I were to consider replacing it, should I just replace all of them? My thought on the tick is that there is probably a worn spring in one of the injectors. I don't think cleaning them may make any difference since I ran a couple of cans of pure diesel purge through the injectors directly from the cans.
Other than this the car runs great and has plenty of power when at operating temperature.
