Dear Brian,
Like I told another fellow, it isn't just older vehicles that are
falling victim to MTBE induced vehicle fires, and I think you made my
point, when you mentioned that the person who used a plastic bodied gas
filter, mounted it too close to the exhaust manifold. One needs to use a
healthy dose of common sense when using a plastic bodied filter on any
vehicle. If there isn't sufficient room available to mount the filter a
good distance away from any source of direct engine, or exhaust heat,
then use a metal bodied filter, or a if you so choose, an aftermarket
glass see through filter. It's always better to err on the side of
caution when working around vehicle fuel systems. The alternative could
be deadly.
