Good point. The glass body filters must be mounted carefully and may be risky in the engine compartment, but if mounted well near the tank, maybe OK. Is my theory correct on the problems of using the paper pleated type before the fuel pump? Are there other types of screen type filters that are available?

I have had good results checking the fuel pump and lines on a fresh start up by leaving the nuts off the fuel pump stand with everything hooked up from the tank to the pump. Then by looking at the pump and turning the engine over by hand until the pump is at the top of the cycle I then manually push the pump down several times until I have fuel comming out the pump discharge line into a container. This tests the system. Works for me.

The filter that I use is clear, but it is not glass.

Also check your gas cap, to make SURE IT IS VENTED, ALSO use a gas tank from a outboard motor, with just gas in it,not mixed with oil, plumb this up ,directly to the FUEL pump, next to the car on a stool about the level of the fuel tank in the car,, if the pump works, you have a problem in the line or in the tank in the car, you have to rule out the problems, one by one, hope this helps 37 RAGTOPMAN
