I added a bottle of Techtron fuel injector cleaner last trip, and the fuel pump started buzzing. It gets louder when I slightly pinch the supply line.
My guess is that crud in the tank either blocked the in tank screen (which I will test by pulling the supply and placing in a gas can).
Or the fuel filter is getting plugged.
Question, is it OK to install a different brand filter like one from a BMW in place of the little square plastic filter I currently have on my 84 Westy?
I've seen kits available to convert hose sizes, but assume that any hose adaptors from your FLAPS could work.
Thanks!
