| Post subject: | Rust in carb/time |
Well, I pulled the lid off my Eddy and there was powdered rust in the bottom of my fuel bowls!  How? I have a brand new 7.3 diesel filter on there, but I reckon rust still gets past it. My fuel tank is probably on borrowed time, but it's not leaking yet. My engine doesn't need that, so what type of filter should I buy that will keep the rust out? Canister? "10-Micron"? Double filters?Thanks a million! Footer: I have my slant timing set at "10 before" on the timing tab...is that acceptable? |

BigBlock, Try a Perma-Cool Fuel Filter and water separator part# 771-81794 at Jeg's or Summit. I used to put one like this on boats all the time. It is a life saver and a good price too! That will keep that nice carb bowl shinny. |

Rust in the hardline itself, between the filter and the carb? |

Fine enough rust particles can get past filters. I went through this a while back. You might be able to buy a little time by cleaning out your tank. Replace the sender gasket, filler grommet, and sock while you're at it. Applying a sealant like THIS should help as well. |
