WIX Filters Complete Line Filter Replacement Parts : Fuel System Review

Did exactly what I needed. Put a truck on the road that has stood still for 4 years. Inexpensive additional filtration is required.

Much better filter than the $6 Autozone option at similar prices. Large surface area of the actual filter and sense of solidity.

Filter size should be stated more clearly I ended up buying 2 different filters which I did not necessary because the size was not clear.

I have this to gravity feed a 5hp generator. Guilty. This is for fuel transfer.

I was just wrong this time.

I disassembled a Wix 33002 (before the fuel pump) and a similar unbranded filter (before the carburetors), both of which have had less than 1000 miles on my car.

The glue that attached the paper filter to the plastic housing crumbled and parts fell into the carburetors, as a result of which the float valve did not close and gas leaked from the overflow. Replaced it with Wix and will never buy a cheap filter again.

I use this filter on my 1968 Mustang with 289, all my outboard motors (5, 35 and 70 hp. I mount the filter right next to the gas tank in front of the primer bulb and small factory filters in the engines) and my Briggs 25hp lawn mower. I have never had any problems. I use hose clamps, not zip ties, and have never encountered any leaks. The life of the filter depends only on how much gas flows through it. Because of the rubber fuel lines, I only use NO ETHANOL gas on all of the above. If you have
