I had an intermittent running issue with my Ford 3000 three cylinder gas. I was told to check the fuel filters. Well there is one on the petcock in the fuel tank, a filter screen in the fuel pump, a stacked filter inside the settlement bowl, and another filter on the in-port of the carburetor. Why so many??? I started by seeing how well the fuel flowed to the carb. It didn't exactly gush out, so I removed the easiest filter first. The one in the settlement bowl. So far it seems to run better already. I had the tank off last year for repairs so I know it was clean inside. I put a new petcock and screen in it at that time. The fuel pump is new, so I assume that screen is clean. The carb is new, so I have to think that filter is pretty clean. The settlement bowl is the only component that wasn't changed. However I can blow through the filter stack without much resistance. I'm just wondering how many of the four filters I can eliminate. Personally I'd like to get rid of all of them and just put one of those cleanable in-line filters to keep things simple. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
