I recently bought a 31 coach and it only has a fuel bowl on the stovebolt. I was wondering if it is SUPPOSED to have a filter in there, or did they not use a filter on it? I saw a pic of a sediment bowl online and it caused me to wonder if it was origonally equipped and someone forgot to install a new one or what.
Thanks for any help.

Nope. There was no filter. However, there WAS a copper wire-mesh screen at the top of the glass bowl. This was a round shape with fit tightly in the top of the housing.

Thanks. I did see the part you are describing on The Filling Station catalog, but when I took the bowl off I could not see upwards into the top housing (didn't have a mirror handy right away), so it was just a quick dump to get rid of so much sediment, but I was wondering.
.....now if I can just figure out what is leaking on it... the gaskit, the bead nut on the line, the pump, etc....
Thanks so much.

I added in a paper filter on mine, as a few others have done as well for added security and that warm fuzzy filling: 1929 Fuel Filter, Screen, & Gasket Installation

I also added a paper filter when I had problems with some white fluffy stuff in the settling bowl. Now have nearly 2000 miles on the '31 since last September. Runs great! Thanks Ralph McEowen!!
How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!
