Havn't beeen driving the car much but I have been watching the fuel pre filter closely. I've got some sort of sludge…Took the car on a 300 mile round trip journey yesterday to an 80th birthday celeb. in Rockport, MA….….mostly highway at 70MPH what a freaking smooth drive…Anyhow on the way home percieved a slight hesitation….Pulled over at our targeted fuel stop a few minutes later and filled the tank and changed the pre filter (I've taken to carrying spares and a few tools….

All back to normal….I took the dremel to my old pre-filter…eeeeeeeeew!

rust colored gritty dirt…..not magnetic….Is there a cleanable/re-useable version of this filter?

I prob. need to remove and clean the tank but in the xmeantime I'll be getting good at changing pre-filters….
