Haven't tried it in the TR.

E-Types commonly use a filter in the 2" glass bowl:

In addition to the paper version shown, there is/was also a solid but
porous (stone?  ceramic?) version which may be what is in that GM filter
you linked to.

Somewhere I read that a NAPA 3943 or 3939 would fit the large glass bowl
fuel strainers often used on farm tractors from the 40's through the 60's. I
think the only issue that I can see is that the incoming fuel enters at the
center of the strainer head so that any dirt that accumulates will be on the
inside of the element. You would need to remove the bowl and element to
check for dirt accumulation which makes things rather inconvenient. A NAPA
3034 comes up as the equivalent for an AC GF 124.

Subject: [TR] Fuel filter

I just came across a note in an old TSOA newsletter, to the effect that an
AC fuel filter element, GF 124, will fit inside the sediment bowl on a TR3
in place of the original brass screen.  Has anyone tried this?
