Yeah, thats about what I used to get. After checking out the fuel filter change procedures, I think I may do that this weekend and see if that helps.

The FG-1083 looks like the FG-986B except it uses slightly larger inlet/outlet fittings. FG-986B has been used on 2V modular Fords for the past 10 years or so (E-series, F-series, Crown Vics, Mustang GTs, etc...)
