[FC] Electric Fuel Pumps

[J Corey]

I generally agree.  Restriction on the inlet side sdeems to ba a typical
cause of failure.  I put the fiulter before the pump at the suggestion of my
FLAPS.  Maybe he was tired of warranty replacements, and thought tank crud
was an issue.  On the bright side, I've gotten most adewpt at dropping and
installing the tank.  Went through a bout of sender float probs while back.

I have found some electric pumps really don't like any restriction on the
suction side.  You might take out the filter before the pump and see if your
problem gets better.  Since you've already verified there isn't a lot of
crud in the tank, I don't think you really need that filter anyway.
