Tank strainer... can it be cleaned?
I'm going to replace the lines on the back of my SDL here (and the breather check valve) and am going to drop the strainer while in there.
Can that strainer be cleaned or should I just replace it?

O-Ring
I don't know if you run biodiesel or WVO, but I figured out the size of the o-ring that goes on the tank strainer. I bought a couple of packs of them in Viton and have the individual o-rings on my site.

Did you ever get the part number for that check valve?

I swapped the in and out lines before last fuel filter change on the wagon and then swapped them back. Did wonders on the idle.
