[urq] Part # Help - fuel sediment canister - FOUND

[Jon Archibald]

Just confirming this shows up at VAG NLA since '06 according to my local
import store. Assuming there is not a mistake on the NAPA website, I think
that is the only source left. Again - anyone who would like one let me
know; I'll probably call in the order today or tomorrow.

Incidentally; having flushed mine out a few times I can confirm there is no
true filter element here, just interior baffling. It is for settling before
the fuel pump and has not caused any flow issues for me at 2.5 bar even
with a good deal of sediment entrained. Nice for fuel tank interior debris
if you do not have one - there is a mounting bracket on my '85 just next to
the fuel pump.

HTH,
Jon
