Thread: Td5 fuel filter.

I'm guessing from inside to outside based on this.

Thanks Simon, I used (flawed?) logic and decided outer to inner, reason being if the filter becomes clogged, it will collapse and flow will stop. From centre to outer, there is a possibility the filter could burst, allowing contaminants to pass.
My late D2a seems to be slightly different to your diagram. I have a hose from the FPR to the top of the cooler, then to the back of the car.

Oh I just guessed it was in to out because the in lines looked like they went to the centre of the carrier and the out lines looked like they were from the edge of the carrier.

The plumbing seems strangely complex, to me, two laps of the car before it's used.

They wanted to use up some of the energy before combustion. Worried that the car would be too powerful.

Fuel filter installed, now it's leaking fuel from one or both of the hoses/connections on the front of the filter. Are the hoses a unique or generic size and are they a flexible hose or specially shaped?

What are the connections? Threaded or push on?
