re: #56 Michele: Out of the closet, Into the fire

My long held theory is that most engineering fuck ups would never happen if Design Engineers had to spend a minimum of one semester in the field working with the Techs who have to maintain/repair the equipment. Like connectors that are easily accessible in the design lab, but become a nightmare to access once the equipment is installed in its intended location.

Like the inline fuel filter on my Nissan I was running down today. I need to move at least 2 hoses and possibly a bracket to get to it. What a crock. Yes it is better than getting to the one in the tank (which I am told is a no maintenance one, just replace the whole fuel pump). All I want to do is change the inline to see if that is the problem I am having with it stalling every once in a while. I already went the fuel line cleaner route which helped a bit.
