Fuel Slosh

That fuel strainer on the bottom of the pump will stop up and it won't look like its very dirty. It will get a clear varnish clogging up the screen and won't hardly let fuel come thru as fast as is normal. Soak the screen in acetone overnite and blow it out or just buy another at the store.

Don't belive it? Then take the screen off and fill it up with gasoline and notice how it will barely leak out the screen.

The usual failure is in left hand turns.
