c. Fuel Filter Configurations.

The various types of fuel filters are:

(1) Replaceable In-Line Filter (figure 3, view A, on the following

page).

This type of filter is periodically replaced.

The body of the

filter acts as a sediment bowl.

(2) In-Line Filter Elements.

(Elements that fit in the carburetor

inlet or inside the fuel tank on the outlet) (figure 3, view B, on the

following page). These filters are replaceable at intervals and contain no

sediment bowls.

(3) Glass Bowl Filter with Replaceable Element (figure 3, view C, on

the following page).

The sediment bowl must be washed out whenever the

element is replaced.

Some fuel pumps have a glass bowl-type gas filter

built in.
