Of fuel socks and rusty gas



The intank fuel filter is available through just about any of the
Chrysler specialty dealers,such as Mitchell's. They should also have
the filler grommet. It would probably run around $15.00 for both
items. These may also still be available through Chrysler, since this
filter was used on all models for a long time.
