MK2 - inline fuel filter
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hello all,
I've found the original fuel filter solution in the engine bay a bit fragile in terms of fuel leaks, with the fuel bowl. I get it tight, but it has a tendency to sweat/leak after some time. Anyway, I've tried bypassing the whole canister/bowl, and just use a modern inline filter. It seems to work very well, and the engine runs better (not tested, just a feeling).
Question - by omitting the original bowl solution, are there any side effects (other than not keeping it original) one should be aware of? Will fuel pressure increase to the carbs/could it run rich or put too much pressure on the carb mechanics?
Feedback highly appreciated
Cheers
Morten
