You're right Scott. Although, we were talking about where the rear-most
filter was if it had been changed due to fire hazard. I moved my inline
filter to just in front of the forward shroud so I could get rid of most of
the clamps and connections directly over the case. I've heard of other T3
guy's doing the same and Mr. Merritt asked me why I didn't at a car show and
I didn't have an answer other than *lazzzzey*. It makes it a bear to change a
filter, because I'll almost have to remove the left rear wheel to get at it.
It's worth the extra safety against a cracked filter spewing fuel over the
top of the case. Hmmm, I wonder what the chances are of a rock flying up from
the left rear tire.......Maybe I'll just duct-tape marshmellows around the
whole fuel line.    ;-)
