^^This is true, even they are not perfect. The old Landruiser I fought for years, had fine dusty rust that would "shake up" from the tank. I ran an inline filter, an AC sediment bowl, and when running a QJ or Holley, STILL ran the brass/ ceramic little "thimble" and EVEN THEN stuff "got past"

It would start to "idle bad" and I "knew"
