[Tigers] Fuel Filters

[Tony Lang]

Stu, I am of the opinion that a section of rubber is better than having it
"hard plumbed". Vibration will, in time cause a crack in the hard plumbed
line, while the rubber accepts the vibration, protecting from a crack. One
might argue use a metal line large enough to compensate and thus not use
rubber but I've seen large lines crack- not necessarily on a car but I can't
see why the same physics would not apply. Anyone differing in opinion, please
step up. Cheers!

I want to move the fuel pump on my
Mk1A to the Mk2 location, the tire well 
in the trunk.  Ibve got a new Facet
ready and waiting.  Ibm trying to sort 
out the layout in my mind, having seen
the various custom layouts in photos 
that some of you sent the first time I
started thinking about this.  But 
here's the thought that keeps going through
my mind...

Ibd rather not have any rubber fuel lines in the trunk.. Steel
lines only, 
less likely to have an issue.  But I want to use a prefilter,
that Ibd 
rather have protected in the trunk,  too.  So I started looking for
fuel 
filters with threaded fittings on their inlets and outlets.  I found a
few 
for fuel injected systems, Bosch stuff, Porsche stuff, etc.  But those
are 
likely metric, and Ibd rather stick with something I could easily adapt
to 
the 5/16b (IIRC) standard fuel line.

I know therebs a pricey Fram filter
for racers, but Ibm thinking there must 
be something else.  A cheaper
something else.  Any ideas out there?

Stu
