Fuel Filter for Carbureted Air-Cooled VW Engines

Works on all carbureted air-cooled VW engines
Sold individually
Compatible with stock fuel line
Works with fuel lines with an I.D. between 1/4" - 5/16"

The 803201511E fuel filter is designed to work on all carbureted, classic VW engines. Keep unwanted sediment out of your VW carburetor with our universal plastic fuel filter. The filter features stepping fittings, making it compatible with stock VW fuel line (P/N N203551) and any other fuel line with an inside diameter between 1/4" and 5/16". These filters are sold individually.

Note: This filter is only compatible with carbureted engines. If you have a fuel-injected car, check out our fuel filter for fuel-injected Type 1s and Type 2s (P/N 133133511) or our fuel filter for fuel-injected Type 3s (P/N 311133511C).

Do do not mount the fuel filter in the engine compartment.

We recommend mounting the fuel filter near the transmission, close to where metal fuel line exits the chassis.

The ethanol blended in fuels today deteriorate the fuel hose faster. If/when this occurs, there's the risk that the connection at the fuel filter fails. If this happens in the engine compartment where things are hot and the distributor is making sparks, your car catches on fire. Yes, changing the fuel filter for maintenance is more difficult when the fuel filter is near the transmission, but it is much less difficult than dealing with an engine fire. Regardless of where your filter was or what you've seen in the past, we recommend that you re-locate it out of the engine compartment and do not under any circumstance mount it in the engine compartment above the distributor.
