Fuel Filter in Tank...

#1 Post by GregD-UK » Tue Apr 23, 2013 2:01 pm

Hi all,

Anyone change their filter in the tank regular? Had mine out to paint tank etc, they are quite pricey! Is there an alternative other than OEM? Not seen it covered much on here...
My warranty is the clear/smoked tail lights around the corner!!

Never done it and not been much discussion on here but I have seen alternatives suggested on AF1 forum

For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.

If the pipe connections fit and the filter size is similar, put it in but pay attention to flow direction markers.
As Fartlander said, Micra will do.
Cant remember the post title but someone compiled a list of alternives for a falc that covers as much that can be inter changed
