Changing the fuel filter?

Yeah, a few bucks at the plumbing store will allow you to attach 5/16" fuel line to the 3/4" NPT.  I've got a goldenrod filter on mine now.  The biggest problem is that there is not provision made for a mounting bracket -- it's supposed to hang on the 3/4" pipe....

Princess Auto carries a generic filter head,with 3/8" NPT ports for $10.10 micron diesel rated filters are $8 each.Just a regular spin on setup,like the older VW's.
