I almost ordered a fuel filter/fpr last night but haven't yet. It should be replaced either way I suppose, I'm not sure when (if ever) it's been changed in the last 196k miles.
I also want to do this test to see if the check valve is holding after I turn the motor off. I'm tempted to just replace the filter and pump...
