One fuel filter clogged somehow after 15k miles. It's one of the easiest things to change to troubleshoot running lean or dropping pressure.

thats exactly what prompted me to replace the filter, i was all of a sudden dropping fuel pressure from 50psi now im getting 40psi, and when the car warms up its worse.
i have a feeling that premixing puts extra stress on the filter.
well jio, i got my pump in on saturday, im gunna attempt to do it this coming weekend, if im not successful you will hear from me

[quote name='Shane.Trammell' date='May 20 2005, 06:51 AM']Is it necessary to change the filter (strainer) thats in the gas tank that filters before the fuel is sucked in by the fuel pump?

I replaced mine, it was pretty cheap but I suspect cleaning the original one would work just as well. I had a situation where the fuel would cut out with a low fuel tank (and not "spirited" javascript:emoticon(':drive:') driving), I suspect the strainer was collapsing or somehow sucking in air.

got at this last night and its definitely not fun. wasnt able to get through bc the hoses wouldnt come off of the filter without cutting them. it was about midnight so walmart was the only place open, and they dont carry fi hose. we're gonna try to finish it tonight.
we're going to be relocating the filter to the subframe, like ihor said to do in his faq thread. that will make it a breeze to change next time.

Also there is another spot under the infront of left rear tire I custom made a bracket and there is already 2 10mm hole for mazda bolt small and I mount mine there,I like this spot because filter is not expose to outside derbis and the lines are under the a cover.

btw is the first picture amp post that the tray I removed and mount the filter up there.
