Ok, changed it, alas the old filter had stamped on the bottom Jan 04
9:02 AM, so it was done in the 140K or earlier timeframe.
A slight cloud of alga bugs tho in the fuel out of the filter and the
housing was black. I'll add some biocide and see what happens.
Very few bugs in pre-filter btw.
Double alas, timing runs did not change still +14.
