My experience with modern(ish) fuel systems is as follows


1) Tank yes crap accumulates here, not much, but some. Mostly Varnish, and oils which alcohol is good at cleaning out . . .
2) Pump Inlet screen I've never seen one plugged, I'm sure it happens . . . .
3) Fuel pump
4) Hose
5) Filter (mostly rearmount, or under the vehicle)
6) Tube to front
7) Fuel rail
8) Injectors tapped off fuel rail
***** Some cars such as new neons end here they use pwm controllers on the fuel pump to eliminate the FPR + Return hose**********
9) Fuel pressure Regulator
10) Return line to pump.

And the fuel keeps flowing. . . . Rund and Round like a record

Are you implying that absorbed water in the ethanol mucks up paper filters?
