    Vacuum Tanks and In Line Fuel Filters

    in Technical

    Posted

    I will address your comments/questions in the order you made them.

    1) Is the "factory fuel filter" you mentioned the screen in the fuel inlet to the vacuum tank or the gascolater screen & bowl that I talked about in my original post,

    or something else?

    2) My car has the "early system" wherein a check valve is utilized and both the vacuum pump AND the intake manifold vacuum are plumbed to both the vacuum

    tank and the windshield wipers.

    3) The later system came after 8-7522, and eliminated the check valve. On those cars, the vacuum pump is plumbed to the vacuum tank only and the intake vacuum goes to the wipers only. The manual says this was done "to eliminate the check valve as a source of noise." Is this the "recall" that you are referring to?

    4) I'm not sure what you mean by "are you running the pump?" As stated, I totally eliminated the electric fuel pump installed by a previous owner. If you mean the vacuum pump, yes it is plumbed and working as factory designed for an "early" car.

    The car is running perfectly now with what I believe to be the exact fuel system that it left the factory with. I am simply trying to get input on whether adding a modern in line filter would be helpful or detrimental to the operation of the car. Oh, well - guess I'll just put one in and try it for awhile. Thanks for your input.

    Hello  you mention a vacuum pump in this topic where can I find this pump? I'm working on a 1927 Gardner with very low intake vacuum. this vehicle also has a Vacuum brake assist which will not operate with low vacuum.  thank you   can also be reached through my email dcdiefenderfer@aol.com
