I went to start my car over the weekend - and it started fine - then all of a sudden the car died? I tried to re-start it - then I realized that the external fuel pump was not running - it has juice and I can hear the relay by the ECM clicking - so I removed all of the fuel lines from the pump - then tried again - just in case the filter (after the pump) was clogged - but still nothing. Question - before I go and buy another $300 pump - what kind of fuel filter can I put BEFORE the fuel pump to try to catch any garbage in the tank - the tank is a Rock Valley SS tank with baffles - I just spoke to them - and they do not install anykind of screens in the tank (I thought that perhaps they did - similiar to the original Camaro sending units - that had the little pickup screen). The pump is not old - only maybe 2,000 miles. The pump is Accel's high pressure pump # 74702 34 gal/hr 90psi. I was thinking about FRAM's filter or one made by Russell - but not sure - I do want to starve the pump.

PLEASE ADVISE
