New davco questions

With a 50 on there, might as well not have it installed, you can almost pour sand through it and it would not catch much. lol.

I'll keep an eye on that, thanks. Receipt from TA shows they installed a FS19764 which Cummins lists as rated 10 micron.

Usually the level would creep up to about 1/2 to 2/3 full by the time I hit my 10-12k oil change. treated the tanks with a maintenance shot of biobor just before the last filter went on and it lasted twice as long. Actually hung just under half until I hit about 20,000 miles then it crept up faster. must've gotten some junky fuel. Here in CT most of the fuel pumps have stickers proclaiming that the fuel is blended with "5-20%" biofuel. yuck.
