Well, everything went fine today. It's running smooth, and there's none of the sputtering that I experienced yesterday.
Now that I know I have to address that tank screen, would it be worth it to remove the tank completely and have it steam cleaned? There's almost 21 years of gunk sitting in there, so I would think now's the time to get rid of it, as I'm planning on driving it for at least another 21 years...
And while we're on the topic, does anyone here have any direct experience with Racor bypass filters? My friend's 300TD-T came equipped with one (hardcore previous owner), and there's a noticeable difference in the condition of the OEM fuel filters.
