just received a new fuel filter housing and bowl. it's different, in and out are at either ends so will have to get a new pipe made for one of them.
apart from that, it has no bleeders,can anybody tell me is this ok and will it work alright.thanks in anticipation

Hi,

Send it back and find a used one from a breaker. No bleeding, not the right connection is not worth fitting in my opinion.

sent it back. a mate got a helicoil kit and put a new thread and bolt in it, happy days are here again

I was looking at getting a replacement one myself after I spotted a leak from one of the bleed points but noticed that all the pictures of replacements seem to have inlet and outlet on opposite sides so just resorted to ptfe tape as a quick fix but probably needs to be helicoiled when I get around to changing the filter. Bit of a pain that nobody seems to offer a proper replacement.

helicoil has worked perfectly
