[urq] prepump filter

[Keith Lloyd]

My car is an '87 WR and the fuel system components remain unchanged from standard and the component between tank and pump definitely does not contain a filter. It is clear plastic and is just a baffle/ sediment trap and is clear as a bell, no sediment present (which is reassuring). This is strange becuase the parts list definitely dascribes this as a filter.
Most odd.

>> Well there you go.  Being that 5/16s is closer to 3/8s than 3/8s is to 1/2, we may have a winner.  FWIW, The NAPA 3033 mics @ 3/8s.  I just measured it.
