What have you done today with your Austin Seven

"What’s the general view about fitting in line filters. Alan"

I use one of these:



150 Micron filter, designed for systems without a fuel pump ( I have a gravity feed system), Briggs and Stratton part number 298090S, 5 quid or so online.

Stops all the chunks reaching the carb but you will need a bit of 1/4" rubber fuel line to put it in somewhere. Clean it out every spring.

Solved all my problems!

P.S. Don't use filters that are designed to be used with a fuel pump, on gravity systems because they cause fuel starvation...…..

Unless you have a new tank, these things are surely going to fill up and then block with rusty particles pretty quickly? I've got one sitting here and it has no spare volume to retain what it filters. The oversize versions of the cheap plastic inline filters have a huge surface area of filter and don't seem to impede flow...
