More on Rear Fuel Filters

[ajr666@domain.elided]

A few more words on my experience with the Wix filter.

The Plastic filter has been in the car for nearly 3 months now with no
problem.  My concern with the plastic filter was its proximity to the
exhaust system, so I have been monitoring it with no apparent problems
showing yet.

Further, I actually cut the OE filter open to look inside it.  Nothing
unusual about it and no water seperator device or baffling that i could
discern either.

>I have always been told that the reason the Alfa filter was so much
more
expensive is that it has something in it to remove water from the gas to

protect the SPICA pump.  Don't have a clue if it is true or not.  I
found a
large Fram (no, lets ot start this again) filter for a Corvette that I
thought gave a large surface area to help prevent clogging and it had
slip
joints on each end to allow the use of the stock hoses and clamps.  I
don't
remember the number.  It was metal and much bigger around that the alfa
so I
had to fashion an extension to the clamp but it worked very well.  I
would be
hesitant to use a plastic bodied filter, but I can't argue with
success.<
