You said, "he put in new ones and cleaned them out"? You cannot clean out those filters. You replace them. Did he clean something else out?

What exactly does that mean?

Are you still out of town?

It sounds like you really need to just drain the tank, pull the screen and blow some compressed air through the lines. When you refill use some biocide or BioDiesel to help clean the rest of the crud out of the tank.

You can use a couple pieces of 2x6 or 2x8 stacked 2 pieces high to get the car high enough to get a fuel can or 2 under there. The tank screen is a large 46mm socket. Any Northern Tool or other local tool shop will have it for about $8. Once you drain the fuel out, you can clean the screen with some brake clean and put it back in there. Leave the lines under the car unhooked, go up under the hood and unhook the 2 lines on the drivers fender and blow back through. Hook everything back up and fill her up with fresh fuel. If you have a mighty vac, it helps to pull fuel from the tank through the supply line before you hook the primary filter back up. Then pump the primer until you hear the "fart sound" and you are good to go. This whole procedure only took me about 30 minutes when I did it.

After running the BioDiesel or biocide I would change the filters again after the next tank or carry some with you in case you clog it up one more time.


Edit: A couple more things. If the tank is really nasty you may have to pull it out of the car to clean it. Also, once this is resolved, you should seriously consider where you buy your fuel and stay away from the places you have been going. Try to buy from a source that is known to go through a lot of fuel. IE: truck stops, local stores that cater to heavy equip. or your small town oil company that supplies biodiesel and other fuels and oils. PM me if you need any help. I just flushed and cleaned my tank recently. It was pretty easy.
