SEMI fixed my fuel problem.... Info for others

I know some of us or at least one of us is have that damn jerking, stuttering, misfire ect... (whatever you wanna call it) problem.

I never once asked myself, how much a fuel filter is or how hard(EASY) is it to install a fuel filter. AmericanMuscle sells a Motorcraft filter for $14.99(thinking to myself $h!t thats cheap, but shop around

) and this has to be by far one of the EASIEST install I have ever done. I have personally along with my father rebuilt the whole motor and installed it and I have turned every nut and bolt on my car from performance upgrades to just fixing something.

So I repeat this too EASY and anyone with this problem should change the fuel filter, not just because it may fix your problem, but because its old and needs to be changed regardless.

I can feel it in my butt dyno that it did fix some of my problems. I can still feel a little jerking but I'm blaming that on my fuel injectors.

The video in this link helped out a lot.

Hopefully this will help some of the lost people like me fix their problem.

Almost invariably, the stutterring problem with my Mustang comes from getting some bad gas and I can almost always trace it back to letting my gas tank run real low......like in "E" and this missing/stuttering crap starts.............

A bottle of Drygas and a couple of gallons of race fuel ( 100 octane CAM2 ) fixes my problem every time after I drive for about 20-30 miles.

DO NOT use Octane Boost additive garbage.........you'll turn your plugs orange and your car wont run well
