Umm...I'm a bit concerned about this.

I serviced the truck this morning and when I removed the fuel filter, I nearly had a heart attack. There is what looks like rusty sand in the filter. I can't tell if it is grit(sand like) or if it is just plain rust. It is on the outer area by the rubber gasket not in the center(which is where I hope the fuel goes TO the pump). I don't think it is the actual filter rusting. The last fuel filter change was 2 services ago (Approx 6000 miles). Where did this stuff come from? Thank goodness for fuel filters!
