With all that expensive fuel sloshing about in the tank it tends to collect
all sorts of debris.
I recommend installing a glass bowl separator between the tank and pump.
That way the pump doesn't get clogged with large pieces and the carb filters
catch the fine particulates.
Plus it kind of looks like it belongs, being a period piece on many British
marques and one can tell when it's time to empty the bowl. Gets the water
too...Pretty easy to mount on the rear bulkhead and can be plumbed using
steel lines if one has the desire.
