Could the floaties be from the filter itself? you never know could be a bad run of particular filters just a thought

oil could get in from leaking injector o-rings but the filter wont look clean, it will be nasty and really heavy

i saw your pictures of the filter, it looked brand new, if you had injectors leaking oil into the fuel it would be black by then

I opened up my fuel filter housing and there is still a ton of particles of junk. WALJON brought up a good point i missed before about possibly being particles from the filter... I also notice what looked like oil bubbles in the fuel. the only thing is that they looked very amberish in color and not dark black like used oil would look.

sorry for the crappy cell phone pic.

it was deffinately bubbles, maybe it was water bubbles? i was poking at them and trying to seperate it from the fuel so i could try to figure out what it was. Do you think blackstone labritories would run a analysis like they do on oil?
