Hey,
I just wanted to have a look at my strainer for sake of knowing how to remove it and to make sure its reasonably clean. I don't believe I have a fungus problem however tinkering is fun espically when I am in that area already.
I wouldn't have to go buy a socket becuase my dad is a diesel mechanic by profession and has sockets/wrenches up and beyond 3inch sizes.
I have a socket for the tank sender too
Anywho its good to know that it is that easily accessable. Next time I am down there servicing/checking hoses I will maybe pull the strainer out (after draining the tank) and have a look.
I don't have a flow problem becuase I had to siphon some bad fuel out the other day from the engine bay and I had good flow from a 1/2inch line.
At the very least I can take a picture or two for some forum members so that they can find the location easier. Also help those people who don't know where the tank vent line is.
Take care
