    Except of course the fuel pickups are at the bottom of the tank so this is really an urban legend for any car with a plastic fuel tank. Look at how long fuel filters last in modern cars and often they're only changed because of the manufacturers recommendation.

    No legend in a 86 Accord ( with 480,000 kms on the clock when it was written off) or a Volvo 760. I was just glad the filter for the Volvo was identical to a Magna filter.
