Re: [alfa] Duetto Fuel Filter

["Paul Bayly" <thebaylys@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Alex,

My Duetto has both the OEM and aftermarket filters fitted (by PO).  Can't
understand why he fitted the aftermarket item and didn't route the fuel
around the factory filter ?  Especially as the new one is downstream of the
factory item so the factory item collects the majority of the crud.

You can see the aftermarket filter here:

Go to the Duetto folder and see the two engine bay pics, one of which also
shows my shiny 'new' 116 airbox, modified to fit.  The filter is the white
round item adjacent the front carb.  Seems to work fine if a bit ugly.
