Re: Fuel Filter
In 1960 - '70 all my glass-bowl fuel filters had a ceramic cone inside, to work as a filter. And most all of the glass-bowl filters I bought / saw at swap meets of those years, also had the ceramic cone inserted inside the glass bowl. What ever happened to all those ? Why is it that no one ever mentions them ?
As I have a supply of them, that is what I have always used , and still use. They seem to have work good for me for over 50 years. I would appreciate hearing from some of you, why no one mentions using these old ceramic cones as a filter in their glass bowls. Have other found them giving poor service ? |

Re: Fuel Filter
Doug, I was just thinking about those same filters today, because I'd like to add one to my 1950 Studebaker glass bowl. I took the carb apart after driving it 100 miles and found some fine rust in the carb bowl. I'll have to buy one of the NAPA paper filters and see if that will trap the fine stuff, but I better buy a spare in case it fill up. I think the ceramic ones can be cleaned by back flushing.

Re: Fuel Filter
The fram cg3 lokks like it is a different style and may not be held up in place by the bowl
Go with the Hastings or wix Stay away from inlines period most restrict gravity flow, they look bad and can also be a fire hazard make sure you have the standup in the tank also Last edited by Mitch//pa; 02-11-2015 at 04:25 PM. |

For C26PineLake:
happy as a clam To be exceedingly happy and content. The full phrase is "happy as a clam at high tide." Clams can only be dug up at low tides, so at high tide a clam is safer and secure, so therefore, happy. Everything in my life seems to be going great; I'm happy as a clam. |

Re: Fuel Filter
screen first then cork gasket.. the filter will sit against the glass bowl, there is a little recess for it to stay in place. youll see when you take it apart to install it.
