Hi Monte I have the same setup as you on my 32. I have a stendard type of fuel filter right at the end and don't get any fuel smell. Pickup is looking great. Regards Steve.

Thanks Steve ,will give that a go ,or the booster filter if that dont work ,I like to have a big dia breather cause I have a screw down filler cap that is sealed but also when filling it helps to get the fuel in faster without blow back ,I dont want to be standing there for 1/2 hr filling the 90ltr tank

Just thinking about this booster filter ,anybody really know what they are there for as the line is in vacuum so how can fumes from the engine get sucked into the booster or are they to stop crap from the booster getting into the engine ,now there is the question for the night

I reduced the line to 7mm and fitted an inline metal fuel filter off a commodore and as Steve said works fine no more smell ,thanks all

The filters are fitted to cars with the booster mounted lower than the carburetor. It keeps fumes, and in some cases raw fuel from running to the booster when the engine is not running. When the engine is running the fumes are drawn back into the engine each time the brakes are applied.
