My OE shower heads lasted 24 years (can't complain about that) then melted away and fell off into large pieces.
I pulled both tanks and just added the 'proper-submersible' fuel line.
While the tanks were out I gave the outsides an acid bath to dissolve any rust then neutralized the acid etching with baking-soda and water then, fully painted the tanks with rustoleum.

HOWEVER...on the outside of the fuel tanks I did add an inline filter...reason...if I added some type of filter/screen on the inside and it became blocked I would have to drop the tank to remove the debris!

With the inline filter on the outside of the tank that allows me to simply remove the filter.
BTW I used a WIX #33972 transparent filter designed for diesel fuel.

Ray - can you redo your attachment? - I am interested is seeing the filter you used. Thanks! Todd

Sorry Todd, but the attachment doesn't show the filter.
Correction, the diesel rated filter is a WIX #33972
I believe Summit Racing shows a pic of it.

And if anyone wants to do better than factory, look into these http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BWT93DI?pc_redir=1407161281&robot_redir=1
Just search around and you can find info on them.
I want to try them out.

That's for 5/16, you need 3/8

There is no reason to dread changing the showerhead on the front tank, as the tank doesnt need to be dropped. The last time I modified my 89 front tank, it was only a matter of several minutes to have the assembly pulled out, modified and re installed.
