This little thing was the problem...but what's stuck in it?
What happens here
Inspect the removed filter element for visible signs of dirt, rust, algae, or water contamination (black particles). Once inspected, thoroughly clean the filter element by spraying it with brake cleaner or a similar degreaser. Ensure all visible debris and grime are flushed away. Continue spraying until the filter element appears clean. Also, visually inspect the inside of the filter canister and the fuel line for any remaining debris.
Goal: Remove contaminants from the internal filter element.
