Pretty color auto... it's the same as mine. What do they call the color... it isn't really white?

I found the fuel filters the number one problem when I suffered from the slugs. The two main filters under the hood are easy, but I still haven 't been able to loosen the tank filter. It also needs a special 46mm wrench that is either very expensive or hard to find. Sears sells a socket for a 3/4in drive, but if you combine it with an adapter to fit your 1/2in or 3/8in ratchet, it's too long and won't fit over the axle! Also, If you see crud in the small clear filter under the hood you may have algae. This is an easy fix.... get some algae killer from your local marine or auto shop.

Next, look to see if any of your fuel lines are leaking or wet under the hood. The line coming off the large fuel filter was old and wet on mine. Also a simple fix. Also inspect where the fuel line connects to the engine and the connections of the small clear fuel filter. Since these get changed fairly often it is easy to tug too hared on it and loosen the connection where it goes to the engine, etc.
