[QUOTE="Jeffscarstrucks, post: 29110, member: 1245"] This is not a solution to the problem but a way to deal with it and hopefully get most of the big stuff out with use. My old ASV had enough rust in the tank to plug the inlet to the filter and the tank comes out right after the engine so that was not happening! I plumbed in a filter housing/mount from a farm fuel holding tank (tank on a stand for refueling) before the factory filter. You can use a two quart screw on filter and it will catch a lot of debris before it fills up. After a filter or two (one for me) the rust problem has virtually gone away. Keep in mind that the thread pitch is different for a fuel filter from an oil filter from a hydraulic filter and so on. Most farm stores have a decent price onthis set up and I found that it works fine on the suction side of the pump if you pre fill the filter. I did have to blow the rust off of the pick-up tube in the tank a few times with VERY low pressure compressed air. I actually put a tee in the line before the tank with a cap on it so that i could blow the pick-up off easily. Like I said, not a fix but it worked well for me. JEF [/QUOTE]
