When I farmed I had several trucks and tractors that had to run every day. Early on I began the practice of changing fuel filters between Halloween and Thanksgiving and having treated fuel by Dec 1. I bought fuel from reputable suppliers that moved a decent volume of product.
I can’t recall having fuel issues.

Thats right my friend. Best practice for sure. Clean filters, good fuel, happy running equipment, happy owner operating them.
Never seems to surprise me the neglect i see when people all of a sudden start having problems when they could have been easily avoided.

I think there is a fuel pick up screen inside the tank. I dont think you see those lady bugs make it to your filter, until they dissolve entirely, but i`m betting it`ll be a very long time before they do.
Good to have that big filter in-line regardless though. I think i saw where you replied that you have the big filter before the rear tank pump, which is the right way to install it.

I don't think there is a screen, and if there was it would be a real big job to get to. I didn't cut the oem filter apart to know for sure. I think I got them all out now after 3 filter changes and blowing back on the fuel line.

I can`t really say that i know for sure, i haven`t ever looked inside the tank on mine, but i thought i remember someone on the forum saying that there is a debris screen of some sort inside the tank.
