I have the standard Vans installation in the tunnel, and it is a pain to remove to check for debris. I did it on this year's condition inspection and it was absolutely clean except for one little spec of debris (like 1.0mm). I only inspect it every 2 years as it is a big job to deconstruct the fuel manifold and inspect the filter. I would secure another source for my fuel unless you have no option and then I would filter it through a chamois like they do in Mexico or get your own filter. If need be dispense the fuel into cans and then filter it. -------- See you OSH '17 Q/B - flying 7 yrs.

If they're seeing it to, then it's pretty easy to narrow down the source.

I have gone to doing a timed fuel flow to tell if the filter has lost any capacity. Way easier to do.

Since it is a pain to remove the carpets, etc. to gain access from the top I cut an opening in the floor. I left a section of the original floor that has the filter clamp base on it. I added some platenuts to hold the cover. I have a short bracket that locates the section relative to the cover holes when I reassemble it after cleaning. Got to get down but it maakes short work of filter cleaning and tunnel inspection.
