Those cars must have been fueled with pure junky diesel!

I ran my prefilter over 1.5 years and took it off only to find it had not even a few flecks of stuff stuck in the screen, it had just gotten dirty on the outside! (I washed it off to find this out!)

My new one (been in for 4-5 months so far) is still crystal clear after over 4.5k miles, nothing in the screen......buy at high-volume stations!

Also, I've been using the same secondary filter for over 2 years, and I can still roar to 100+ mph no problem, fuel is a-flowin fine.

I'll bet there's practically nothing in it....maybe I'll change it next summer just to see whats in it....
