cheers

Seen this before in cars and boats. Keep changing the filter until all is good. If you've got dodgy fuel (or with ethanol in it that has dislodged sludge) the new filter will block up as well, and maybe the next.........etc, until it is all caught. You never get the lot in one filter change if it is that bad.

Bet if you check the filter you've just put in just as much carp will be in it as the first.

cheers, DL

the really strange this is that even with all this going on, my trip to brissy the other day and back yielded the best fuel results Ive ever got....normaly get around 400k's a tank....but this trip got 430k's a tank...

cheers
