.......  as I don't use more than 20 gallons of petrol a year .....

That's just showing off!

If last year's trip to French France is anything to go off I'll be using 4 times that when we go in a few weeks.

Guess mine will end up looking like that ......  as I don't use more than 20 gallons of petrol a year I ain't changing it !!!!

 

Looked at changing mine at the weekend but it was very awkward and I was knackered so didn't bother. It looks reasonably new and still has the sticker on it so I won't bother for now

... It looks reasonably new and ......

like mine then

Yeah... Possibly 10 years or so newer

Could have been worse; metal clamps around them to tend to make them leak badly. Fiats are 'good' for that. It's all good fun when you have to tell the customer that they're probably going to lose the whol tank full, and you can't recover the car as the fuel's gushing out!

 :-? Bugger! Never thought of that when I just filled up this afternoon  :-? :-?

I hope there's a plastic/rubber pipe before it I can clamp!  :-/

Not an issue Andy B - you'll lose about a cupful, mostly all over your face, in your eyes, up your nose, and in your mouth

Hmmm, all depends if those b'stard plastic clips want to actually clip in place....

It's a job for Sunday now, working tomorrow - OT to help towards the Fuel in France Fund.

Looks ok to me mate - bags of life left in that 

TB's right you will only lose a small amount of petrol, probably all over your face and head as I found out when changing mine.
If I had known you wanted one you could have had my old one - it was a lot better than yours

Thanks! 

Just got home from work & I promised the dog a pint on the way home from a walk round the local country park. But I'll change it tomorrow. 

[Andy B]

that looks better! 



and this is inside the old one - the orange bits are paint from the hacksaw blade.  No really nasty lumps of anything, just black after 12years & 168000 miles worth of fuel.

Is it me or does that new filter look to be fitted the opposite way to the old one?

As long as it's fitted with the "Flow" in the correct direction, which I'm sure it is
