Fuel Filter

Post by daCosta »

Hi guys, does anyone know the location of the fuel filter on a 1.6 316 ? I've followed the fuel line from beneath the car till the pump and its not there, so i'm guessing its somewhere near the fuel tank?

All my M10 engined cars had one of those clear plastic ones in the fuel line at the front end near the carb.
