Can anyone suggest a good fuel filter that does not leak or melt due to our good old british fuel.

I use the car ones from Halfords, had air lock problems withe the stright through type (HFF201) when switching onto reserve, now use one that has the exit pipe at 90 deg, faces down & all works fine, it is tight ontop of the carbs.

use a magnet araldited to it. no fuel filter will stop the fine dust like particles of rust from inside a tank.
