Subject:Fuel filter upgrade kit tips wanted
From:Eric Caron
Date:Sat, 5 Sep 2015 11:25:57 -0400

Hi folks,

        I have been wanting to install a fuel filter upgrade kit for some time.  I have a 85 Wesfalia with the square pre pump filter.  I purchased a upgrade kit but it has no instructions with it.

The kit has two lengths of hose one larger then the other. a small adaptor that looks to me like it might connect a large hose to a small one.  It comes with a canister fuel filter and a zip tie.

thats it.  Not sure where I purchased it from but it was either Van Cafe or bus Depot.  I’m thinking bus Depot.  If Van cafe i would just call for instructions as they give me   technical support for such items..

I also purchased separately a used bracket for the canister filter and my frame has the cut outs to mount it.

I’ve never done a job like this so tips on how to proceed are appreciated. 

there may be a picture of the kit at Bus Depot. maybe even pictures that show the install, but I need a verbal description.

Tips are appreciated.

I’m feeling pretty good about my skills after the recent break  improvements and shock install and would like to keep the momentum going.
