Subject: Fuel screen question
Since I ran my tank nearly dry a while back, and have had some issues I'm
trying to track down, I decided to look at the screen in the fuel tank.
Well, this is the 1979 / 8V (ie. no transfer pump), and pulling the
inspection hatch reveals a dark, block shaped object in the tank, and
nothing that looks especially filter/screen like. So, am I wrong to think
there's a screen in there somewhere? And if so, where? (I wasn't going to
stick my hand in there to probe around, as the tank's full and I'd
displace too much fuel) Bentley isn't very helpful. On the plus side,
there was a bit of fine crud in the screen on the CPR, so it was good that
I got that outa there. The tank itself looks really clean and crud free,
which was good to see at least. And the hatch came off easily, unlike that
on the younger sister.
