    They do help in refueling, however the original intent of the strainer was to prevent fuel theft. Has nothing to do w/ "filtering". I did tell my nephew they are there to prevent a hand grenade being dropped in the tank. He said "cool".

    You will hurt yourself in the long run. Part of operating heavy equipment/big trucks is the ability to maintain them, that may take a certain investment in tooling and support equipment. The payback in acquiring the right tools for the job is directly proportional to time saved and wear and tear...

    Always disconnect Negative cable first and reconnect last. Lucky you didn't blind yourself and burn the truck to the ground. PPE= safety glasses. Stay safe.
