Fuel Filter Wall of Shame

[Bennoz]

I was taking the piss out of the cop on Aca, he made a lame ass excuse why a podfliter was illegal. "if you ran over someone and their head hit that, it would cause serious harm."
Someone post the vid lol

Pods are deemed illegal because of the supposed risk of fire. You know, for when your modern Japanese engine backfires & spits fuel all over the inside of the filter...

Clearly, based on the long gone days of carburettors.

and yet a crummy $15 'shield' which is a flimsy piece of material sometimes between the pod and the bonnet (doesnt have to enclose the pod at all, just half encircle it) makes it a-ok and 'safe'...
think if you raid all the police evidence lockers for drugs you wouldnt find any, theyre carting them all down to the department of transport and smoking them before making up crackpot laws to piss us car enthusiasts off!

From memory pods need to be covered/enclosed a minimum of 75%.

What's the model/part number for the fuel filter, there's lots at the local stores

[Taz]

z411 - coopers make one that is interchangeable with this one, find it on the shelf at number z441.

You meant z441 the first time you said it yeah?

[Astron_Boy]

I'd say so, given z411 is the oil filter.

@ technik: Coopers and Ryco are same part numbers, so if the shop doesn't have one, they have the other.

[Taz]

Haha yea just saw that - least i rectify it at the end

Yea ryco and coopers are the same, went into autobarn, and the coopers one was in the z441 spot, although it was a slightly different number or had a dash in it or something, but on the box said it was interchangeable with z441 filters.
I recommend the K&N oil filter as well, the spanner off thing is just so easy

[Technikhaus]

Thanks for that!
Seems to be $40 at my local, does that seem about right?

[Taz]

I paid 25 odd for mine at autobarn, thats probably about right for your area.

Could prob mail you one for cheaper, that's a rip.

[Bennoz]

Yeah that's a rip off. I found a new one in someone's boot once, still got it
