I had alway thought that the big metal filter after
the pump is a must for all vanagons to protect the
injector system.   The plastic one is optional for the
pump for some pumps and a requirement for others.
Those pumps that do not have a built in filter require
the plastic filter.   This requirement is more common
on the older vans than on the newer vans.   gary

Subject: Was: Noisy fuel pump Now: Fuel Filters

Problem I have is the gas line that comes out of the
tank and goes into
the black cube filter is not the same size as the gas
line leaving the
black cube filter.  I ordered several filters from
Vanagain and non of
them fit on both sides.  BTW, when I told Ken that the
first one did'nt
fit instead of having me send back a $3 fuel filter he
said just keep
it
and sent me a new one free of charge!  Guess I can get
some kind of
adapter between the 2 lines but it would be nicer to
get the right
filter.
Anyone got a part # for the before the pump fuel
filter on an 86
Vanagon
with the Silver filter canister.  Ive heard that this
silver canister
thing may be a California emissions rarity.  My van is
originally from
CA.

Thanks,
