Who makes an inline filter that WORKS properly on a gravity feed gas line?

I put a little magnet (from an old multi-head screwdriver) in the sediment bowl on my 901. Amazing how many little tidbits it grabs.

The ones I get seem to work in all positions, even with an air bubble in them, just be sure that the one you get is for a gravity system and not a system with a fuel pump.
I jget the little plastic red ones for small engines. Just use the sediment bowl and filter on my big tractor.
I install a filter on everything with a fuel line that I have if it does not already have one. That and using Stabil and I almost never work on carbs.

I agree with Bob and Old.. mount filter so that any air could escape, and use a filter designed for a lawnmower, or similar engine. My local TSC, and napa and hardware store, and walmart ( in outdoor garden section ) sell a little filter that has a double barb on each side to fit 1/4 or 5/15 fuel line.. Says it is good up to 80hp engines.. and is for gravity feed systems.

I did retro one on to my ford 850 in order to try to clean up the 'plumbers nightmare' of stuff that the prev owner had. Right now I have a simple on/off brass valve under the tank in the port where the NAA tank tap would be, then the filter, then a line running to the carb. Eventually I'll go back hardline again.. not on top of my to do list though. Right now the tractor is doing odd jobs almost every day or two.. so I've no desire to tear it apart for the time being..

Well if you just plain think you need on, I never use them because the sediment bowl if it has the screen in it as it should works just fine, but if you still think you need one go to a motor cycle shop and get one. Motor cycles use gravity flow fuel systems also

If your problem is rust in the tank,coat the inside with Red Kote or something similar. I had one that would fill the bowl with rust in half a day. Coated it with Red Kote,problem solved.

They have been made and fitted for nearly a hundred years. It"s still available and called the sediment bowl. It worked all that time ago, so should be perfectly adequate in these days of cleaner fuel. Why try to re-invent the wheel?

try a 3031 or 3032 filter from napa. it is a metal filter hi flow. 3031 is for 5-16 lines, 3032 for 3/8 lines. they work pretty good

Mounting the filter vertically so that any trapped air can escape up into the gas tank helps a filter to wokr on a gravity flow system too.
