| Alternative Fuel Filter for 312 Recently saw and alternative Filter for a 312, this was a CAV housing mounted at the rear of the engine bay. The filter housing had a glass bowl underneath. Owner claimed the Filters were half the cost of the MB units.
Am not prepared to use this type of setup on my 313 because of the electrical connection (switch) on the bottom of the filter housing. This electrical connection incidentally in Australia costs $95Aud or around $63US. Am told the switch/connection is easy to swap over to the new filter but am seriously looking at buying one just in case of problems when I am in the outback.
