Subject:Re: Exactly which filter for pre-pump retrofit?

My Bad - Forgot about the AH Tanks used on 86-91 models w/12mm fitting for
11mm hoses (So used to 80-85 models).

But I do love a mystery and there has to be a pre-filter made to take
advantage of this fuel hose size.  Time to start digging into reference
books again.

Thanks Ron :-)
