[urq] Fuel pump filter on 83URQ

[Frank de Kat]

Hello Tony:

Yes, it is a bit of an odd filter, but not *totally* unavailable..

I'd suggest posting on the quattroworld 4K  forum (  
http://forums.quattroworld.com/4000/ )
as I'm sure that someone there has found a *very* close NAPA filter  
substitute.
Is has pretty well the same size fittings, but made of metal, and has  
no mounting tab.

Alternatively, some have found that filter on Ebay:
