Of course it's "recommended", in much the same way that brushing your
teeth every hour is "recommended".

Huh? Never heard that one before. Please note that the vast majority
of 'Bs (and, by inductance, I presume Midgets also) have the fuel pump
mounted under the car, and did not have a single filter fitted until
just ahead of the carbs. There are some who will use this statement as
a damnation of the whole SU Fuel Pump ethos, to whom I say "PPTTHTHHTH".
