Hi Listers
I want to fit a fuel filter to my highly-original MkII. The MkII didn't
come with one fitted. I can either:
1) pull off the original (and quite rare) fibre-braid coated rubber hose
leading to the carbs and replace with newfangled rubber hose and the
filter
2) saw through my 35-year-old fuel pipes upstream of the fuel pump and
insert rubber hose and a filter
3) shell out on some mkIII pipes which accommodate a filter before the
fuel line.
option 1 keeps the most original car but means the fuel pump doesn't
benefit from filtration
option 2 saws through an antique fuel pipe!
option 3 means it's a MkIII mod to a MkII car, thus less original, but I
can save the original pipes.
Or am I just being silly.
What do you think?
