Has anyone come up with an alternate placement of the fuel filter. I'd like
a location FWF so as not to have to open the tunnel for filter service. (
I'll have a console below the panel over the tunnel ) Any reason it could
not be located on the firewall? Use a gascolator instead? The subject was
brought up in previous posts but don't remember any posts regarding a
solution...john

Not an alternate placement, But During a recent visit from Al Gardner,
he shared that he was planning on installing an access panel similar to
the stall warning panel on the bottom of the aircraft so that you could
change/remove the filter from the bottom and avoid having gas inside of
the tunnel/plane. sounded like something that deserves some consideration.
Al you got your ears on???

John, we returned the original fuel filter to Vans, bought 2 new filters
from a "race car" supplier, positioned 1 each under the pilot and copilot
seat, installed a valve on the fuel tank side of each filter (to limit the
fuel spillage when changing/cleaning the filter). David Boone 40138

Hi Deems, yes my ears are on-it’s my head that’s the problem!. As soon as I get the *%!(at) headliner glued down I’ll post some pics. I like it but since there has been no fuel in the system so far, I don’t know if it will allow/minimize any leaks or not when changing the filter.
