[AT] Leaking fuel fitting

I know what Roy is talking about.  There are some inline filters that are 
designed for pressurized lines and they will not always gravity flow
enough fuel for an up draft carb but there are plenty out there that will.

Roy, we've added a lot of in line fuel filters to tractors and lawnmowers
with no problems. None of them were automotive filters (that I am aware of).
Napa keeps a good selection of them. I have one tractor that has a sediment
bowl type filter with a replaceable filter. It looks better on a restored
tractor than a plastic in line filter. With that one you don't have to
convert to rubber lines. To the untrained eye it looks like it belongs on
the tractor.

Do I remember right that normal car fuel filters have too much
restriction, and we should look for the right kind to put on gravity
fed fuel systems?  The '51 IHC W-4 here, for instance?
