let me try to understand this, you are going to replace the fuel pump, filter and line because the filter was packed with crap. you had no fuel pressure and your hotrod ran like ****. where do you think all the crap came from that's in the filter? I can only think that it might of came out of your fuel tank. so changing all that stuff in front of the tank should only let you race until it get packed with crap again. maybe just maybe you should remove the tank and clean and seal it first or even purchase a new one before changing parts only to screw up again. whaddayothink?
