    I have an Aeroquip 100 micron in front of the electric fuel pump on both of my cars just to protect the pump. The '40 has a Wix 33033 after the pump; the roadster has a standard AC glass bowl with replaceable filter at the carbs. As '29 Gizmo just posted above. Working well so far...

    Cheers all. Have ordered a couple WIX as suggested. Luckily have friends from the US coming over next month so they will bring them with them.

    A few years ago I bought one of these in the marine paint scheme, but it looks like those as well are a thing of the past. It's discouraging when there's a good reliable product that people want to buy at a fair (not cheap) price, yet it gets discontinued.
    I guess we'll have to keep an eye out at swap meets and boat graveyards. On the plus side, the filter element itself appears to still be in production.

    This filter and can was on the bottom of my old Ford fuel pump. They can safely hold a huge amount of rust and dirt. I took mine off one day and discovered that it was about 2/3 full of rust and dirt, the engine was running just fine:

    One other observation is regarding those large cannister filters. I have taken two off of my own family fleet to discover that the filter element became unglued inside. When I shook the drained filter I could hear it rattling around inside. When this happens, the accumulated dirt is suddenly able to carry on down the line.
