Fuel filters
I have searched for a fuel filter in my 1971 Traveller, but can't find one. If they were never fitted, can someone recommend the right type to fit, and where to fit it? Any known problems, like fuel flow restriction? Thanks
Re: Fuel filters
Your SU pump has one.

Re: Fuel filters
Also there is one on the petrol pick up tube in the tank.
Some very fine silt can get through but SU carbs are very tolerant of it. Every 50 or 60 years you may want to wash it out of the carb, not forgetting the tube to the jet.

Re: Fuel filters
Why do you want a filter? And yes - fuel flow restriction is not unknown... The SU carb copes very well with any normal 'dirt' coming through the system - don't worry about it !
