I have this fuel filter that I removed from my 1970 Cooper S and I wondered if anyone knows much about them.
Keen to understand;

Were they original?
Did they perform well?
Would they work ok with twin 1 1/2" SU's?
Should it have a filter element? And if so
Can you still buy them?

Or
Should I just get a new modern filter/regulator?

Thanks

That is a water trap filter. Were commonly fitted on tractors and stationary engines.
No filter element, but there may be a gauze filter in top?
First time I've seen a Wipac one, they were better known for their electrical stuff- headlamps, fog & driving lights, etc.

How funny! I think the car was once owned by a farmer because it was filled with red dirt when I got it. Wouldn't be surprised if it was fitted from a tractor with little effect.
A new filter for me then!

When i first looked at the pic , i thought , WTF :shock: , that don't belong on a mini , more like something you would see on an old Holden .

Where abouts was it fitted to the car ?

On the fire wall. I know it seems crazy. When I got it someone had taken the twin SU's off it and fitted a single 1 1/4 to it. Would have been running lean on one. Fortunately the original twins were inside the cabin, along with the chickens nest!
