Not to flog a dead horse, (OK, maybe a bit) but
with all this talk of fuel pumps and filters, I
had to let y'all know:  I was poking around the
fuel filter aisle looking for something with a
7/16" inlet and outlet when I came across a
FRAM G3802A ($6 Cdn), which looked a lot like our
filters ($25 Cdn).  They are used in roughly a
gazillion Fords, for instance most Taurusses
(e.g. '88-'95 w/3.8L, '86-'00 w/3.0L)  I picked
one up and compared it to the cheapo replacement
Vanagon filter.

Dimension         VW          Ford

Fuel in/out       0.318"      0.312"
Body Diameter     2.907"      3.045"
Length            ~3"         ~4.3"

So if you're REALLY cheap, or are cleaning a
dirty fuel tank, or sumpin' like that, consider
a Ford Taurus filter instead of a VW one.

For a picture comparing the two, please see

NOTE:  The only thing that has me concerned at
this point is I haven't been able to determine
the pressure the Taurus fuel system is supposed
to run at.  Anyone?  Beuller?  Anyone?
