fuel filter/screen

My dealer is pushing an exotic fuel cleaning saying that Gs have no fuel filter(screen instead). Are the Gs prone to fuel issues? I use only hi test top tier gas.

Absolutely, positively, 100% unnecessary. Your G's fuel system is fine. The filtering system is adequate, otherwise there'd be plenty of instances of issues. I'm not aware of any. If you want peace of mind regarding a clean fuel system, use a bottle of Redline SL1 fuel system cleaner in your tank. That's all you need. $8.

It's funny how dealers continue to use these "fear and consumption" tactics to generate additional revenue. Since we are in the minority as owners that go out of their way to understand many of the details of ownership, it makes me wonder how many folks out there simply check the box and have the service done.
