Kevin here from Mendeola Suspension. I would love to talk to you and get some feed back on your thoughts about how our front end worked with you mid engine Spyder.

 

Great looking car....

 

Hi Kevin, 

 

I got your voice message yesterday, I'll definitely give you a call on Monday when I'm back in town. 

 

Thank you.

The engine builder has been placing fuel filters there for over 30 years and not once had any fires. I agree however.

Agreed.


I assume there is an inline filter somewhere closer to the gas tank. 

 

What's the logic for placing a secondary small, plastic fuel filter right on top of the engine?

 

Just wondering.

 

Logic... It's been done for years. This one has another fuel filter up front below the tank. The new owner can remove the rear one if he's worried about it.

Thats where I mount them as well. There is one up front as well.
