I think the later ones may have had a filter on the pressure side, but it was a pressure filter, like the CIS FI did on the Rabbits. Those cars ALL have pressure filters. Stainless cans, and heavy crimped or welded seams. We test those filters to 600 PSI. The suction type filters only get tested to about 30 psi for burst test. -- Russ Wolfe '71 FB AT '66 FB MT '64 T34 (not running) '65 T1 (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
