i just removed my fuel heater and screen all together. there was a write up on it somewhere in here talking about that screen and heater being useless since theres about a quart of cold fuel ahead of the heater anyway and it would never come into play. i cold started my truck this winter in the single digits and it fired. it didnt like it but it fired.
