Gas tank screen, Where is it?


Recommended Posts

I have posted a few times about some issues with my EA82 SPFI Gl Wagon. I have been chasing these issues for a few months now, tried different fuel pump etc. 

 

During these posts, I brought up the fuel pick up screen. I have been told multiple times its built into the fuel pump (there is one on the pump inlet), and cannot be replaced separate from the pump. After reviewing the FSM, the diagram in the manual suggests there IS a screen in the tank. 

 

I do not want to drop the tank chasing a non existent screen. I am hoping someone here has dropped the tank on am spfi ea82 and can confirm whether the screen exists or not. I am assuming if it does exist, it probably never been changed. I have had issues with my car stalling after idling at redlights and drive throughs. Fuel pump will start to wine and engine will have major power loss. If you baby the gas pedal for a few seconds, it will come back and run fine. Sometimes, it will actually stall out, but will start right back up without issue and drive fine. One time only did it stall and refuse to start again for about five minutes. 

 

I am changing out the CTS today, but finding out if there is a 28 year old filthy fuel pick up screen in my tank would be helpful. Thanks
