I came across a page explaining how this damn little thing can cause a lot of crap. However, i have this question : On my 71 transporter, i also installed one, unaware of said page above and on recommandation of the local mechanic. However, i did not put it inbetween the pump and the carb (which sounds to me like a crap spot anyway) but right after the hole in the firewall where the hose comes in (inside the engine compartment. Plus, i safety wired all my fule lines (and yes, brand new fuel lines). Should i now pull that filter or is it safe where it is now, safety wired, properly clamped and all. Can´t see a leak anywhere, engine is clean and dry. Oh yeah, the line goes through a rubber ring, so no chance to get cut from the metal of the firewall.
