Description of problem (please be as in depth as possible):

Hi there

I've just got a new fuel filter (http://www.minispare...=... FILTER 1/4), however when looking at the old one, the old one is clearly much bigger. It looks like the old one could be http://www.minispare...=...MPI UP TO...). I'm not certain, but the size is right, unlike the new one which is tiny.

Will this new one work, or have I got completely the wrong size?

Thanks

Luke

The one you've bought is an after market fuel filter for adding to a system or for building your own system from scratch, not an original part. Don't use the one you have bought, I doubt it will stand up to the line pressure in a fuel injection system and it probably won't flow enough. It's for a low pressure carb system really.

Got it. Thanks, I won't fit that one, I'll buy the first one taffy1967 linked.

Cheers,
