It is attached with a solid fuel line on a Rochester B Carb. It is directly connected to the fuel pump and I am assuming it is a gas filter. However all the filters I have looked at as replacements do not compare to this. Thanks in advance. http://picasaweb.google.com/Tom.Gann/RochesterBCarbPics# | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | it doesn't look like modern replacements cuz it isn't  I'd guess it's a vintage aftermarket filter, but it may also be a pressure regulator, not factory for sure - I'm the curious type that'd take it apart and see, then get a regular fuel filter to replace it  Bill | | | | | Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 27 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 27 | If it is not factory, what does a proper filter look like. I would like to stay as original a possible.

I took the device off the line and low and behold it was a filter. See http://picasaweb.google.com/Tom.Gann/RochesterBCarbPics#5349949881069775714It looks like a coarse stone material but I think it is brass. I plan on cleaning it and slapping it back on there. thanks again | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | yeah, that'd be bronze i think, should work fine, just make sure to clean it on a schedule cuz ya can't see when it's gettin dirty
