I'm going to put a inline fuel filter before the pump to help, can anyone suggest anything else from experience.
I'm trying this to save taking the tank out !
Thanks guys
couple of thoughts based on my experience — firstly it’s a good idea to drain your tank outside ie not in the workshop. Just a precaution. Re inline fuel filter, if you fit one of the conventional plastic ones — check your sender unit is well earthed. I suspect the fuel line is an earth normally but your filter will possibly upset this.
