By the way, instead of saying "But that's a red herring since it's not
usually the oil pump that wears out due to dirty lubricating oil." I
should have said "But that's a red herring since it's not usually the
oil pump that wears out *prematurely" due to dirty lubricating oil."


True.
I was just using the pump to pump comparison because those are the first

things
each oil sees (not counting the diaphragm pump on most diesels) as they

get to
the engine. Perhaps not the best comparison.

But I still believe my point is valid.
That fuel oil needs to be filtered and kept clean to a higher degree than

fuel
oil to keep a fuel injected engine running well.


Have another beer. Please clarify that "...fuel oil needs to be kept clean
to a higher
degree than fuel oil..."? You lost me.
