I  Hagar is one of the " PUMP "    gang.      ---- we have recommended   for years 
that the standard VW filter be augmented by a better --- after-filter --.

At the time the only spin-on   I could locate was a 2 micron rated filter designed for
Caterpillar tractors. -----   James Hansen    should know about those.    

The best --prefilters --    are  spinon   Househeating   filters like  Kralinator  F 132
and Purolater  -- forget the number.

Bunny Bondo   is now getting a  FRAM   P 3500 (afterfilter) --- why ? --because it is small and easy
to hook up. --- It is made by   Stanadyne     ---Master Filter Element   Model 50.

I am not NOT impressed by the design of the VW  fuel filter .    ( I have one in my hand )
dissected  to look at design.         Remember I am here to help the hard pressed ones
, the RICH guys can get fancy filters of many different designs. Lots to pick from out
there. -----For really  good filters ?  --look up  Hadraulic filters. ( pricy but NICE).

Hagar.

PS :    the problems with spin-ons ?   ---da tread .  Pays to have a friend with a lathe.
