Doug,

You experienced my worst nightmare concerning that  Wallmart special
filter!   I'd be thinking real hard about  installing a real fuel filter!

I installed one like this, I'm assuming  because the filter is so large
it can handle a huge amount of gunk before  clogging up. 



What's wrong with the standard gascolator?  
_www.aircraftspruce.com/menus/ap/fuel_gascolators.html_ 
(http://www.aircraftspruce.com/menus/ap/fuel_gascolators.html)    It is opened and inspected for contaminants, has a settling 
area for  water/contaminants which should be drained before each flight 
(remember primary  training)?  I have been using one for 14years on my STD.  Of 
course I  still use a "six pac" and fly the ILS with needles so maybe I'm 
missing  something.
