I don’t see a fuel filter on my ‘73 Ghia. Is it under the tank and if so how accessible is it? I’m draining the fuel tank today so if it requires lifting the fuel tank to access it now would be the to do it.

'they' didn't come with a filter you can see. The removable nut on the bottom of the tank holds the inlet pipe filter.

Just about everybody adds another fuel filter but not in the engine compartment Wink

If you're going to install an inline filter, this is probably the best location for it. As runamoc said, don't put it in the engine bay. You can search through the gallery for all the pics of engine fires to see what can happen if you do
