Fuel filters

Does anyone use inline fuel filter? I’m thinking of the glass inline type with a washable filter. Will this impede the flow or such? Thanks

They do not restrict the flow, but as a seagull comes with two filters already, I have never seen the point.

Thanks Keith, where are they located? I haven’t got myFP yet to see. You say it’s got two, so did my mk1 golf but I put one in anyway and the amount of muck that collected was phenomenal but easier to clean. And for £2 can’t go wrong..

One inside the tank attached to the top of the fuel ewart fuel tap and one where the fuel pipe attaches to the carb at the banjo connection. I believe Rick and I thought that (at least some) the Curlew didn't have the tap filter (plastic tank). Other QB's?

Yes, I run a small lawnmower type plastic transparent thingy filter on a '47 102 with no problem.

Also the Australian Olympic Seagull had a glass bowl.
