[V8] fuel filter - DONE

[toml99 at todomundo.com]

Hey Ed.....the suspense is killing me.  When I got the Lago car in  
02, it had been sitting in a heated garage for years  in your neck of  
the woods, and had 52K.  First thing I did when I got home was the  
fuel filter, as I knew nothing about Audi's, but I did know for a  
fact,it was an original filter.  As did yours, mine had the felt pad,  
which I assumed was put there for a  reason, and even scraped it off,  
and installed it on the new Bosch filter I bought.  Not only was  
there a noticeable difference, but when I cut in open(I do that to  
all of them)...the pleats were totally black, with small chunks of  
fuel line/whatever in there.  If you're garbage hasn't already come/ 
still have it, cut it open just for fun.  For what it's worth, I just  
ran 2 separate quarts of Techron/5 gallons fuel(concentrated) on a  
small roadtrip, and the 5-speed feels even better/smoother(it sat a  
bit the last couple of years before I got it).  Good luck with the  
hose...Tom
