[Ernie Vitucci]

Good Morning all...If you have the fuel filter with the glass bowl on the firewall, then put a strong magnet into the bowl. It will catch the rust and you can easily see when it needs to be cleaned. For really dirty tanks, get a glass bowl filter for a 55 Thunderbird and put it on the gas line down by the carburetor and put a magnet in it as well. With two filters, you will have a happy and clean carburetor! This approach works for most cars...removing the tank and having it re-done is more than many people wish to tackle. Ernie in Arizona
