I've got a problem on the old Rover with the one way valve in the petrol
pump failing. It's a fuel injected car so has a high pressure pump mounted
underneath and close to the tank. There is a filter after the pump and a
gauze one inside the tank which I'm told often fails by falling off. ;-)
So what I need is a 1/2" fitting in line filter to go in the rubber hose
between the tank and pump - there's plenty of room for near any size and
shape within the transmission tunnel behind the pump.

I can get one from a specialist racing shop no problem - apart from the
cost of anything up to 100 quid, whereas the normal disposable inline 3/8"
type for the high pressure side only cost a few pounds.
So can anyone think of a suitable lower cost one? It doesn't have to be a
fine particle filter - the original only being a gauze type. And of course
suitable for low pressure only. Perhaps something for a tractor? ;-)

What about using one of those disposable inline filters they use on
the high pressure side, together with something to make it fit the
1/2" tubing? Or am I missing somethng? Alternatively, I wonder if
the filters they fit on heating oil supplys would be suitable, or are
they just water traps?
