    A Heavy Duty Quality Fuel Filter

    I saw this filter a month ago at the used tool store, but didn't buy it for $15. Yesterday my neighbor needed a fuel filter for his Army Jeep, and I told him this was the one to buy. The filter is two stacks of thin brass washers held together by long rivets going into the cast iron top. The very thin space between the hundreds of thin brass discs will block out dirt to a very small size. I wonder if it would also block water? I think it would since the fine brass screen in the nozzle on a gas container will block water. The steel plug is to plug the top inlet, then I need to drill and tap for a side inlet. It was nice of the factory to cast a centering divot for this purpose.

    Back in the 70's I remember reading about an oil filter used by Rolls Royce that filtered the oil the same way in the 30's. Filter Fuel Brass Disc.JPG

    When I worked in an Aircraft Maintenance facility, the oil filters for the DC-6's were that way.

      Fuel System Basics and Filtering Options

      The stock Model A fuel filtering consists of a stand up pencil type filter screen on top of the tank shutoff valve which sits inside the tank, (these pencil filters were not used when the car was built) a cast iron or glass sediment bowl and an inlet screen at the carburetor. The late 31 indented fire wall models have the shut off valve under the...

      Stock oil filter
      by Fourdy
      I am using the stock flatty filter for the first time on my new engine. While cleaning it up I find only one very small hole in the inner tube about an inch from the top. Should there be more? I also have the restriction fitting at the canister inlet. These holes sure do seem to be small.

      Look forward to the answers so I can move on.

      Fuel Filter
      by Fixitphil
      Where can I purchase a good inline fuel filter? I tried the "Snyder" fuel filter that goes in the gas sediment bowl but cannot get the bowl to stop leaking so I've never really used it.
      I have the solid metal fuel line from the bowl to the carb. I'm planning on cutting the metal line and installing the inline filter there. Thanks, Phil.

      Gano Filter
      by Big guy
      Sorry to be so needy but I ordered a Gano filter from Amazon. It came overnight but it appears to be too small. I have searched every site I can think of and all I can find is the same size all marked medium. It will fit inside the water pump outlet. I doubt I can squeeze the radiator hose tight enough to safely seal. Where are you guys buying the larger size?...

      Oil Filter Question
      by dmdeaton
      One more before I go to bed. The roadster has a oil filter block on it with some modern hot rod braided stainless lines going to it. Can I replace these with tubing? Nothing flexes on this and I would like to tone it down a bit so it doesn't look so out of place....

      Adding a Wix paper filter fuel filter on a 31
      by old31
      I have my Wix filter on the glass bowl, as shown in one of Mitch's photos resting in the depression. I have a screen on top of that, and a new cork gasket on top of the screen. It leaks.

      The gasket is covering all of the holes around the filter. Should those holes be exposed? I am not sure if it makes a difference. I am guessing that the fuel enters through the center hole and goes out...

      Oil Filter Kits
      by slammin
      According to the previous owner, when he had the engine rebuilt in my 29 it was converted to insert bearings. I have the receipt, from the mid 90s, totaling almost $1,900 Unfortunately, it doesn't itemize the work done. I am considering installing an oil filter kit, from Brattons. All the threads I've read are positive. But I have seen comments that the oil pump doesn't have enough pressure to use...
