Surprising little chatter here, although I did get a key lead off-list
from a listmember.

No, I've not been able to find any filter, anywhere, with two 11 (12?)
mm ports. In the end, I selected the vw133133511 (or its equivalent),
and used a "hose barb union" (without that key phrase this fitting was
elusive; thanks, Leon) to reduce the hose from 11 mm to 7 at the inlet.

A lovely brass fitting can be found at
http://www.fittingsandadapters.com/hosebarbunion.html, although I was
finally able to locate a plastic one locally after deciding that I
really didn't want the 11 unions necessary to reach the minimum order.

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 :-)
