sediment bulb/fuel filter
another newbie questions.
I'm still working on getting the tank cleaned out as I haven't been able to spend a lot of time on it. I've read through several threads here talking about the sediment bulb and adding a fuel filter. Where might I might the sediment bulb? Also, I'm used to dealing with rubber fuel lines, where would I add a fuel filter for a metal line? Thanks for the advice guys and as always I appreciate the help. |

Snyder's has the sediment bulb and a micro filter to place in it.

Re: sediment bulb/fuel filter
I have added an in line fuel filter between bowl on firewall and carb. I cut metal line for filter with rubber tubes on each side. Works well and is easy to install.

Re: sediment bulb/fuel filter
The Cast Iron sediment bowl does a GREAT filtering job "AS IS"--"Just SET-IT & FORGET-IT"---
"IN LINE" filters spliced into the fuel line are "BAD NEWS" unless you're running a FUEL PUMP! Bill Simple

I have added in line fuel filters to every Model A we have owned. No fuel pump, great results. I have never heard of a problem. If you go to a meet, check out all the in line filters. |

The local Model A club is meeting next weekend, I fully intend to attend the meeting and hopefully pick brains and check out some awesome cars. This car has a lot of sentimental value to me as it was my grandfathers, so I want to make sure it is running as best as it can with my limited budget Last edited by CB919ER; 07-03-2017 at 02:21 PM. |

Re: sediment bulb/fuel filter
upon a little further research I think the sediment bulb will do what I need. Again because I simply don't know, I'm guessing I need the bulb, gasket, and the micro filter to place on the firewall?

Re: sediment bulb/fuel filter
Duct taped an old fishing rod (snipped off the eyes) to an old nylon brush,drained the tank removed the strainer and brushed hell out of it..shot it with a solvent sprayer,then duct taped a 5/8th heater hose in the shop vac hose and duct taped the fishing rod to it (pictured)..worked great,I could guide the vacuum hose where I wanted it..all through the filler neck,got all the crap out in a few hours... |
