Fuel Filter issue

I have been using the gas filter for three VW bug for over 30 years with no problems. I have this filter under the dash on the line from the shutoff valve to the firewall. I don't care for having the filter in the engine compartment.
 
Carl, that thing better work for that kind of money. Yikes!

Looks like it might make a good hot Latte.:p
 
I use 1980s Chev. fuel filter. It has the same flared fitting as the valve under
the tank. It is so grossly over size it does not interfere with fuel flow.

( a little larger than a coke can)

I use the factory filters (firewall, and carb), with a pencil filter in the ball valve that exits the tank. Oh, and I do not use BP/Sohio fuels.

BP - British Petroleum

Both are petroleum refiners retailing fossil fuel in North America. Standard Oil was founded by John Rockefeller in America. At some point it became AMOCO, which was bought out by BP, which is an English outfit.

Standard Oil alos developed a process of Ammoxidation complex chemical process involving o2 enrichment of the fuel. Therefore referred to as SOHIO gas.....

To my Kamerad in Deutschland, here are a couple of papers on the Sohio Acrylonitrile Process:

8EL,


thank you very much for the detailed explanation. This is therefore not a type of fuel. And the above rejection is a political decision, I think.
 
Good Morning...Our Model A has a glass filter on the firewall. I put a big magnet from Ace Hardware into the glass bowl. I can see when I need to open the filter and clean the gunk off the magnet...Has worked well for 18 years. Had my first Model A in the early 60's and that is how it was rigged when I purchased it. I've just continued to do the same thing. Ernie in Arizona
