Hey guys, quick (rather mundane) question - my understanding is that this shown in the pic below is the fuel filter right?

Any ideas what to do with the ugly rusting top? Spray it? (Anyone else with a GT done this?)



Hey mate, you're right thats the fuel filter.

Not sure what causing the rusting exactly, they're not expensive to replace so just stick a new one in with your normal full service. That's what I've done.

Cheers Moz, are you sure the top part is replaced too? I thought it was only the internals (a cylindrical filter) that was changed during service? Not sure though!

I've bought complete units previously. Or you can remove it, sand it down and paint it bud.

Cheers, I've read your thread too I'm sure! They are indeed, although I have a bit of water worming on mine - which is a shame!
