Question Fuel filter

Having issues with "The Beast" leaving me walking down the road. I figured it was the fuel filter. Upon changing it This is what I found...I'm surprised it ran at all. I have one tank thats been disconnected except for the fuel lines. (bought it that way) Can I just put a vacuum cap in the line coming from the tank? Its the double line canister filter type.

Cap the line from the fuel tank? Which line? How will it run with a cap on the fuel line?

It has double tanks. Disconnect the line from the tank not used and cap the inlet of the filter from the disconnected line. I feel thats where this red clay came from, I could be wrong as a firecracker up a cats azz, but thats my line of thinking right now.

Those vacuum caps barely last when used for vacuum. I am sure the rubber they use to make them is not fuel rated. After a year or so I am afraid it would give you trouble. A piece of fuel rated hose with a bolt and small hose clamp would probably last awhile.

Sounds like a plan.
