I fitted a cheap "no name" fuel filter to my sons 1972 KE20. After less thans a years service the glue holding the paper cartridge let go. This was now as good as no filter at all. We became aware of this only after a sick stalling engine eventually lead me to an almost blocked jet in the Asian carby. From now on I will buy a decent brand like Ryco.

A useful tip if ever caught out with a blocked fuel filter of the round barrel type is to turn it upside down. As most fuel flows through the bottom two thirds of the filter the top is relatively clean. The offending filter can be changed at a later date. - Nyakalis 14:43, 6 January 2006
