rear Fispa Fuel filter- fuel tank level??

Post by michaelbalk330 »

please remind me... doing annual maintenance and I cant remember If the fuel tank has to be near empty on my 330 GT to remove the rear fispa filter, in order to prevent fuel running out continuously.?

Michael, you can remove the left rear wheel and note the position of the filter canister in relation to the tank and make a judgement call. In my case the top of the tank is at the same level as the top of the filter, which means the tank has to be full to the rim for there to be any chance fuel running out.
