so i bought a new fuel filter (high pressure side), and i'm about to check the in-tank filter since my car has been dying under hard turns lately.



the filter was $17 at advance auto, but the in-tank filter is like $31. do i need to buy a new one, i can i clean it off when i check it. i'm planning on doing all this some time next week, or maybe tomorrow, depends on how much studing i get done before my friday final

 

you should be able to clean it no problem

do i just rake the gunk off, or do i need some sort of solvent?

 

just use some solvent. should be good after that.

 

like what?

 

I would replace it, especially since you are having the dillema of figuring out how to clean it. Hint: Carb cleaner

 

replace it.. it is probably cheap... under 10 bucks.
