whats up with that?
Just got a new fuel pump a few months ago.
Fuel filter about 1yr.



I would suggest changing the fuel filter ($10) again. The fuel tank (10 years old) probably has quite a bit of sediment which probably got stirred up when the fuel pump was replaced and then clogged the filter again. Now the other thing which comes to mind is the pre-filter screen in the fuel tank which has been suggested in past posts as a possible culprit to fuel line issues. But the fuel filter is the "easy" fix and I would try that first.
