When you change the fuel filter in the engine compartment...try and keep the fuel up in the filter as best you can, by removing the top connection first and speedily removing the bottom connector. Use a glass container and let it drain.
The contents of the fuel filter will tell you if you have any contamination. Some light debris is OK. If the filter has water, rust or mud..tank must be examined.
Absolutely replace your tank filter, it has been in there long enough. About $40 from our host. Get a new "O" ring too.
While your under the car..replace the fuel line between the tank and the fuel pump.
You will have to drain the tank anyways to replace the tank filter.
Remove the fuel line to the fuel pump first (your going to replace it, just remove the mounts on the fuel pump) and finish draining the tank.
Then remove the tank filter. There may be a lot of debris on the outside of the tank filter screen. If your fuel pump happens to be still attached to the tank....some of that debris will slide down into your fuel pump....and you will be buying a new one$$.
Flush the fuel fitting on the tank to fuel pump and get any crud out, install a new tank filter and then your new fuel line on your fuel pump.
Take some pictures and let us fellow Pelicans know how it turns out.
