Subject:PN question ("step down" hose from pump to filter)
From:neil N
Date:Thu, 3 Jul 2008 10:52:24 -0700

Hi all.

Not sure if this is an "improvement" but.....

In searching for a way to use a Bosch metal "can" type fuel filter on
my '81 Westy (PN: 0 450 905 030) my parts guy found a piece of molded
fuel hose to serve as a "step down" for transition from the larger
fuel pump OD to this (and possibly better??) fuel filter

Molded hose PN: 251 201 534 A

ETKA showed dimensions of 12.5 mm and 8 mm.

Has anyone used this in conjunction with the larger metal "can" type
fuel filters?

I have the metal filter already. Is this type of filter any better
than the stock square Vanagon filter?

Thanks,

Neil.
