You can merely splice the rubber hose with a regular inline (might I suggest the clear ones) fuel filter. Or you can get fancy and install the inline filter off a 70s Ford truck (that was what the M151A2 used). It shoudl thread in to the fuel pump, although you may have to use a 1/4" m-f pipe elbow to get the direction right. I think, by memory though, that the stock flex fuel line might be too small a fitting to match up to the Ford fuel filter. I'll check when I am at work tomorrow, I stock both items there. Personally, I have usually gone with the filter at the carb and spliced one in at the pump.

A1
the stock filters only stop boulders, I had the same problem Rob spoke of with my first A1 in the early 80's, I have a mod that I do on all the A1's I touch , I pull the rubber flex line between the shutoff and the fuel pump, bend up some new steel tubing and install a fram see through inline filter, with the rubber sections there I still have the flex needed for the engine movement in the mounts, no hacking into the original system , one of the mods that bubba really seems to like is hacking into the line between the pump and carb and having his mod hang over the exhaust manifold , fire looking for a place to happen,

Frank, I understand the concept but do you have a picture to add? Also, which Fram filer do you use?

I did a quick check, and the existing flex line from the frame is the correct flare size to go into the small Ford fuel filter. I may try this setup on my own M38A1 at home. A 1/4 elbow, the Ford filter, and then the flex line onto the filter. The only difficulty that I can foresee is the close proximity of the lower rad hose to the filter. I would prefer a little more clearance between the hose and the filter so as to minimize heat transfer.

Im looking forward to seeing what you come up with Rob. Do you have the part number of the Ford filter?

Rob, I see what you mean about a tight spot between the pump and rad hose. What about the threaded connection between the shut-off and fuel pump?
