No, you look up VW, Vanagon,  fuel filter.  Sheesh.  I am sure I posted the
number before.  I'll see if I still have it.

So I just get a Purolator catalog and look up....... what?    "smaller
input, larger output??

C'mon, don't tease us, tell us what the number is, or what vehicle it goes
on. I have taken the little cube into Pep Boys and AutoZone and left with
nothing but a bunch of sales guys giving me funny looks.

Probably easier to just put a fitting on the hose coming out of the tank
to make it the same size as the outlet of the filter, then there are
choices.

Another nice mod  would be a valve of some type to shut off the flow from
the tank so you can get the filter off without crimping the hose. How many
times can you crunch that hose and get away with it?  Plus, if you reach
under and close the valve, bingo, an anti theft device! Not gonna get too
far, and he wouldn't know where to look. <g>
