Glad to hear you got it fixed. But, the T-3 fuel filter is not a high
pressure filter. It is on the suction side of the pump. I personally use one
that has the part number for a Cushman golf kart. Any domestic fuel filter
with 5/16" inlet and outlet fittings will work in a pinch. The orginal
filter was actually made of plastic.

Building fuel filters for the last 20 years.
