Drop in milage

My 97 F350 has a screen on the fuel regulator that I clean when I change the fuel filter. The fuel line going into the filter housing on the X looks very different. Does it also have a screen that can be cleaned off? I've noticed a drop in milage. Tried a search but no results. Thanks [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]

Re: Drop in milage

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that both are in the fuel filter. There's a coarse filter that is used to filter all fuel (before it returns to the tank) and inside of that is the 2 micron filter that filters everything that makes it to the injectors.

Have a good one,
Dave

Re: Drop in milage

No screen to clean on the X only the filter. A drop mileage can be associated with a plugging air or fuel filter or simply winter fuel. You might consider putting a fuel additive such as Stanadyne or Power Service in for one tank just to see if that makes a difference.

Re: Drop in milage

Power Service boosted my mileage nearly 1mpg in one tank.
