Mornin John, Well, the answer sort of depends on a lot of things. First, if youre interested or concerned with authenticity/originality or the "Correct Police", then the sediment bowl would remain. An in line fuel filter will probably do A LOT BETTER job of keeping extreme small particles out of the carb than a sedimenty bowl NOT equipped with a top screen mesh, but only SOMEWHAT BETTER job than a sediment bowl equipped with that fine screen top mesh. HOWEVER, an in line fuel filter DOES NOT serve the additional purpose of a sediment bowl as a water separator/remover which it does. PERSONAL PREFERENCE: I like a sediment bowl, especially if equipped with a top screen mesh insert, because it BOTH removes water (it settles out to bottom of bowl) PLUS it acts as a filter as the heavy rust etc particles settle to its bottom (also cant get through screen if so equipped) PLUS it preserves originality/authenticity and looks nice in my opinion. Of course, one can use both, but I dont like the looks of a line cut and them thigns inserted. Also, the sediment bowl can be removed drained and cleaned, while an in line fuel filter is more of a use and throw away item. Theres nothing wrong, however, with using what you darn well please on your own tractor. Its yours and your money and no one else has any right to tell you what to do with it. You asked a question and I offered an opinion based on my knowledge of a sediment bowl versus an in line fuel filter. Good Discussion Question. Take care n God Bless Ol John T Nordhoff in Indiana
