new fuel filter
« on: 02 June 2011, 20:12:01 »
A few weeks back I got A N Other pair of rear shockers. So today I eventually fitted them, what a barsteward the bottom bolt on the driver's side was, anyway while I has my head in the rear wheel arch I saw this & thought I really should change it!  ::) ::) ::) I think it's been on since it left the factory!

That thought did occur to me too!  ;D ;D ;D But as I have an air filter on order I thought I'd phone for a fuel filter too.
I was doing an oil change earlier & ended up dropping the filter housing while I was lying under it.  :-? :-? :-?

When its off, run a hacksaw down its centre and look whats inside.    ;)

Unfortunately, I binned and disposed of mine, of a similar vintage/nature, before the thought crossed my mind.

Interested to see what it looks like inside......   ;)
