Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) What Cloth for Clean Fuel Filter Canister

[kscheffler]

There has been numerous postings on the 2nd and even more on the 3rd generation motors about particles plugging injectors on fuel systems and all the nasties that happens after you experience a plugged injector. I think that one potential source is the actual removal and replacement of the fuel filter. I am always concerned about leaving lint behind in the filter canister when I clean it. I use prewashed cotton cloth. Does anyone have a better suggestion for cleaning rag/material? Thanks

Try the Scott shop towels. Either the blue roll, or the Rag-in-a-box variety. I've had good luck with them.
