Lover this video running 2 filters I think is good

[@mcdanielsmotorwerks423]

One filter is fine but if you like two it won't hurt. I do however recommend using modern metal canister filters rather than the plastic ones, I lost a 74 Beetle to fire due to one of the plastic filters failing haven't used one since. Keep the videos coming!

[@Volkswagenplanet]

I have to agree with you there. I think when its gets rolling it will have the glass type ones in place. Thanks for commenting. I'm going to text you around noon. We can go from there if thats good for you. Hit that record button on your side. Want to see the motor go back togther. - KEEP DUBBING -

[@mcdanielsmotorwerks423]

Your in luck I have a new reusable glass one in my parts collection remind me to bring it to you Saturday

[@VWJawbreaker]

One or two, that’s up to you! 😁 It doesn’t hurt to run 2 and yes that is the direction I run my filters also. Good job man 👍

[@Volkswagenplanet]

A little extra never hurt anyone. Cant wait till next weekend. SSSHHHH - KEEP DUBBING -

[@raymondchan9802]

Yes good to have 2 filter. Im running 2 as well.

[@Volkswagenplanet]

I think it's the only way to go on these cars. Just a peace of mind. Thanks for commenting. If your on Facebook come join the VW GROUP PAGE as well. It's called Volkswagenplanet, same as on KZbin. There are several other youtubers posting thier content as well. Hope to see you there. Take care, stay safe.

[@jdmeaux]

I always tell people that the arrow must direct fuel towards the engine. Two filters are just extra assurance that the fuel is not too contaminated before it gets to the carb(s). Moe

[@Volkswagenplanet]

Well said, I never thought about dual carbs at all. Thank you for commenting.

[@barbaraseddon7677]

I agree with you cause I have a 75 super beetle. Do you know how to put a spare fuel pump? Just in case that 1 goes bad. And I can switch over to another fuel pump

[@thetrannyshop5596]

I ran 2 filters on my 66, about in the same places. But I also ran an electric pump.

[@Volkswagenplanet]

Same reason as mine, or other reason? Thanks for commenting.

[@thetrannyshop5596]

@@Volkswagenplanet yeah. If the first one got plugged, I could use the second one. Tank had a lot of crud in it too. Old car problems.

[@Volkswagenplanet]

@@thetrannyshop5596 I can agree 100 percent. Check back in a week and see how many opions will out. Thanks again for sharing and commenting . I'm going to be checking out your channel here in a bit

[@wendy-un9eg]

I have a 78, it has 2 and i bought replacement filters but the ones i have are awhite box with filter inside. Is this right?

[@Volkswagenplanet]

They all do the same job in the end. Make sure the fuel goes on the direction of the arrows on the filter.

[@thestove2407]

Lol .. more filters ... that's crazy-talk ! vw already has a filter in the tank. And another in the fuel pump. How many fuel filters do you need ?

[@bobtee2845]

Just a question why is your vacuum hose plugged off? Just curious. I think two filters are a good idea. Thanks

[@Volkswagenplanet]

This car was a basket case when i bought it. No telling what the previous owner thought was. Thanks for watching. Feel free to ask any questions. Hope to be back in the garage soon. Stay tuned

[@davshaw5]

Someone told me you don’t need clamps on the 5mm cloth wrapped hose, it that true?

[@Volkswagenplanet]

They came from the factory without clamps. The pressure is real low. The problem is aftermarket parts. Several cheap fuel pumps inlet would come out the pump. The fuel would pour on the engine and catch fire. That's is why you see many use clamps. I lost a all original 67 due to a fire. Ever since I spend the couple bucks for a little peace of mind. Not saying it will completely solve the issue. Hope that helps clarify the use of clamps. Thank you for viewing and commenting. Feel free to ask questions on any other videos. Take care, stay safe and warm. HAPPY HOLIDAYS

God bless you too, fresh air vents under dash - install / heat plastic for fit?

[@Volkswagenplanet]

Never messed with the air vents. Let me take a look at them when the sun comes up in a few hours. Thank you for the sub. You still working on your 69?

[@Sam_mila]

Volkswagenplanet yes sir just got my engine inn today and now working on hooking everything up

[@Volkswagenplanet]

@@Sam_mila good deal.

[@Volkswagenplanet]

@@Sam_mila I didn't get a chance to look at the dash vents. I was working on the garage roof. I didn't forget about you. Take care my friend

[@tecate9408]

Any chance you could show it running? Mine looks like a fountain going off in there lots of bubbles! Then after throttle up, it cuts out and dies out.

[@Volkswagenplanet]

Sounds like the jet is clogged. As for making a video, the car is in storage.

[@Volkswagenplanet]

Where is the filter located? Front of car, rear of car?

[@tecate9408]

@Volkswagenplanet one under tank one along trans. I've been trying different jets on carb 140 in there now but really rich, might go back down to 127 or 132 main. Carb has been dipped. Rebuilt, sprayed out with carb cleaner. I seen another video and filter was very calm no bubbles just filled about half way, air has to be getting in somewhere but wouldn't it leak?

[@Volkswagenplanet]

@@tecate9408 bubbles usually means heat. Are the gas lines and hoses away from the manifolds?

[@tecate9408]

@Volkswagenplanet sorry latest location of filters are one coming in engine bay suspended away from dual port and other is after German Pierburg going into carb. Quite sure it is not heat as it's frothy at start and continues. Been a real perplexity and frustration, I appreciate your help

[@007Narsil007]

Is the fire concern regarding the filter being located within the engine bay that the filter may leak or that the hose may move and cause a short circuit? It seems to me that the filter being located in an easily viewed location is of benefit and fire risk *should* be minimal with proper precautions and common-sense [not that common unfortunately] fuel line management/installation. Full-Disclosure: I do not (yet) own an air-cooled VW.

[@Volkswagenplanet]

Good question. The issue with classic vw is this. The fuel pump inlets have been known to pull out of the pump housing. This causing the fuel pump to still pump gas onto the engine block or coils. When you see a fire from the engine compartment this is usually what happens. Its the cheap aftermarket parts we are stuck to use. I cant 100 percent confirm but I am working on the answer. I think the filter was monted under the gas tank up front. I'm waiting from a answer from a few vw techs I know back in the 70s. The filter was never in the engine area in all the pictures I have seen in the service manuals. Welcome to the community. If you have any questions at all , just ask. Any idea what year of bug ypur looking at? Thanks for the view. More great vw videos on the way. Stay tuned - KEEP DUBBING -

[@007Narsil007]

@@Volkswagenplanet, I'm not tied to any one year but the majority of the ones I've been looking at are '67-'72's.

[@Volkswagenplanet]

@@007Narsil007 alot to choose from in those years.

[@Volkswagenplanet]

Have you ever owned a classic vw before?

[@Volkswagenplanet]

@@007Narsil007 67 us I a unique year. Alot of one year only items. 68 was the first year of the new rear auspension only on autostick. Autostick is a auto trans that you shift with no clutch pedal. 69 first year for the independent rear suspension also known as I.R.S. Alot of changes in those years. I could make a few videos for you if you would like. Let me know. If you have any questions im here for you. If I don't know I can find out. Over 30 years with these cars.

Your bug is awful dirty.
