I picked up a clear glass fuel filter for my t/a , was wondering if I remove the filter that is in the q-jet or keep them both? I planned on putting the new one inbetween where I cut my fuel line for my former edelbrock install. I have since swapped back to the q-jet.

thanks

 

Yea, you pull the one in the q-jet. Just make sure you leave the white plastic ring in there, that's what seals the threads there. (it'll probably be stuck in the carb body, and you'll never know what i'm talking about...)

 

Are you sure it's glass and not plastic?

 

could be lol

 

If it's plastic, don't install it. A while back a member posted pictures of what was left of his car after the fire department left. Clear plastic fuel filter burst and sprayed the hot engine with gasoline.

 

Yes they can and will catch fire..Working at a parts store we have been
getting away from all the plastic and 100 % of those Mr.Gasket Plastic ones
are recalled replaced by solid glass type...

 

I remember that. The piece of mind alone is worth the extra $5 for a steel one from edelbrock or the like.

 

I had a glass one break

what do you need to see the fuel for anyway

want to watch you $4+ on it way

 

I would get rid of that thing. They are a disaster waiting to happen. The stock filter is a good design and will work well in most applications.

 

i'd replace the stocker myself.
