Subject:      screen in gas tank?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Still trying to help friend that has 85 westy.  The van does sit for  periods
of time.  It will run and drive fine but periodically it just  looses power
and he has to pull over and feather gas till it gets going  again.  I have not
checked fuel pressure yet but plan to.  He told me  that his fuel pump whines,
(I am not sure if this is constant or periodically),  and from my previous
post it was suggested that it is a fuel delivery  problem.  The pump, filter,
and relays have been replaced.  I am  wondering where the screen is located and
if it is accessible without dropping  the tank?  Is it internal or external?
By the way the van sits  inside, does not get driven in rain or snow, but I am
not sure if he stores it  with a full tank of gas.

Thanks,
