Has anyone got ....

a metal fuel filter bowl. You know the ones with a wire clip under the bowl and a thumbwheel to tighten it up.

I have a glass one but need a metal one for the BSS.

Hi mate, tell me more thought that the only thing that needed changing was the plastic drain screw on remote fuel filters etc.

Sadly, the guy that did mine said that the remote filter bowl must not be glass - reason being that it could get cracked and damaged leaking fuel everywhere. Hence he said said must be changed for metal. These are reasonably standard on older cars. I remember one on my Moggy Minor attached to the bulkhead. My father has an old filter virtually the same as the one on my baot, but again a glass bowl. Only other option is to buy a complete new one - ouch .... but where from ???????????

Lucus make remote units for under 40 quid - had one installed on the refit - not so ouch - also Vetus make them with glass bowls so you can see water/ muck.

Lucus one takes cartridge type filter - cost about a tenner I think maybe less got mine from MMS in Marlow

Thanks anyway.
