OP, when you replaced the pump did you check the fuel in bottom of tank for trash?
Do they run a sock on pump intake?
For the people that carry spare fuel filters, how do you store it? How do you fill it if you have to change?
Early '90s 2 drivers and I fueled at same station went different jobs. When my truck showed symptoms, I pulled into another station, filled the filter from pump. Both drivers sucked fuel out of tank to fill their filters. Water past filter, 2 engines to overhaul.
Later, I looked at a filter that had rode in toolbox for awhile, too much dirt to use. Rest of the time I worked I carried filter in a piece of PCV pipe, with duct tape holding caps on. Also carried a jug of known clean fuel. Later I started to keep bottle of baby powder handy, quick way to clean spill off clothes.
