Subject says it all. Where might I find it?
I have a replacement, just need to know where to start... |

Found the square filter. No problem there.
But is there a second round one? About the size of a large can of soda too?
That's what I got from the parts department at the VW dealership where I work, based on the VIN.
Any thoughts? Wisdom? Bueller? Bueller? |

85 vans dont have the round filters. we just have the little square filters before the pump. you can install the round one after the pump so you have a pre pump filter and a post pump filter, but i just use the little square one before the filter. thats wierd that you got a round one from the vin off your van. hope that helps.

| On my 85, all I had was the cube, before the fuel pump. I kept the cube, and added the big can shaped one after the pump. |

I added the cube filter before the pump to my 87. "Belt and suspenders" filtration.
I've had no issues with cavitation or fuel pump noise. |

| I ditched the cube and added the round canister after the pump on my 83 1/2. Got rid of the pump noise and having to change the filter every two to five thousand miles. The screen inside the tank should be sufficient to protect the pump, but I would like to find and install a larger pre-pump filter canister with a cleanable screen just to be sure. |
