Hey guys I've recently bought my first 4wd a 1985 Toyota Landcruiser FJ70. Love the thing it's like a goat and climbs anything however it keeps clogging the fuel filter. I put on one last weekend and this weekend it's clogged again. I'm gonna drop the tank and change the hose but what should I use to flush the tank.

Any other ideas on what could be causing it to keep clogging?

I go back to the eylandt tomorrow and will get the tank out this weekend.

It is clogging with dirt and sand.

Didn't think of the filler neck!

Got the tank out. Was a bit of nightmare really and to make matters worse the tank is rusting from the inside out. The sender unit is all corroded and the sides of tank are actually quite bad. The bottom is OK. I've cleaned it out best I can but I'm gonna try get another tank.
