- If I had fuel delivery problems would'ent I notice stumbling or maybe
- burndown at top end. I've never had these problems. The problem I
- described is more of a visual annoyance than anything else. I just
- wonder if the filter is half empty at idle it must be completely
- empty at WOT (wide open throttle).
- Never the less - I'll check. Thanks for the response.
