Only one fuel filter came with TR6's originally. The original filters
were located (on LHD carb cars) down by the oil filter between the end of
the steel fuel line from the tank and the short metal line running into
the fuel pump. This location keeps foreign material(including rusty silt)
out of the fuel pump. It is such a short distance from the filter to the
carbs that another filter seems unwarranted to me.
