The previous owner of my car (let's call him "Bubba") installed a regular plastic in-line fuel filter between the tank and the fuel pump. The factory fuel filter is upstream (between fuel pump and injector pump). Is this "pre-filter" necessary? Looks like one big fuel leak waiting to happen. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

The hose fits at the end of the plastic line after it comes out of the body and makes its turn to the right. IIRC, the line on the six is the same as the one on the four. The hose allows you to safely attach the 8mm in/8mm out filter to the line. From the filter, a 7mm hose goes to the original fuel pump. As the pump that supplies fuel to the MFI system is visually the same as the EFI pump and the pump for carbs, it should be plumbed in the same way. The Cap'n
