Remove just fuel heater, or whole assembly ?
 

Got a new lift pump to put on my 95. Figured while I was there id delete the fuel heater before it started leaking or causing problems... I see some people just removing the heater, but I also see kits sold to bypass/remove that screen housing completely.

What do yall recommend ? Truck is stock

I would leave the screen, but that is just as an added filter before it hits the P Pump

Well, it does keep the heavier sediment out of your main filter. I wouldn't remove it. But then, I didn't remove the heater either.
