hi all.
im looking for the plastic round bobbin prefilter that sits on the end of the fuel pickup pipe .its for a carlton but im sure a similar unit would be found on similar gm cars of the era. possibly senator,manta,monza ,astra maybee ?
just pushes onto the end of the 12mm od pipe.

Would something like THIS be suitable? That's one of the first results Googling fuel tank filter sock, you might find exactly what you want spending a bit more time looking at the rest

thanks for reply.
mine is a plastic round bobbin that sits in the swirl pot .the sock would probably be more for carburretted cars where the pick up lays on the bottom.   obviously a big enough sock if i could find one would fit around the plastic !   chreers

I've never seen a swirl pot on a carlton tank/pump 
saloon the pump was mounted on the side of the tank , estate the pump was in-line

Is it any different to the Omega one

the carlton tanks have the swirl bowl built in to the tank base. the pick up and  return pipes all feed from / into it.   external pump ,damper and filter mounted inline.
i may  have found some finemesh sheet which i can wrap around the bobbin unlesssomething better popsup !
