Fuel Filter issue

[JOES31]

The Wix filter is good and I use that with what I said before. No need to overthink
this.

I use the John Deere GY20709. You can get it at any box store. It is for a garden tractor. Works well.

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.

Should be available at most Aircraft parts houses or Pilot Shops.

Carl, that thing better work for that kind of money. Yikes!

Looks like it might make a good hot Latte.

The local Oreillyauto can not get the Wix 33030 filter. Does it cross to a specific vehicle fit? Perhaps there is a Fram number out there?

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
SOHIO - Standard Oil of Ohio

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.

Do you use the metal end as the inlet or the gasketed end?

[ModelAArmy]

Model A

Do you put the pill magnet inside the filter on the bottom or do you put it outside the filter on the bottom. Thanks

[Ernie Vitucci]

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

It should be Wix 33039.
