Title: Alfa 164 fuel filter
Post by: fazz164 on January 06, 2020, 02:11:55 PM
Am trying to chase down an intermittent stutter in the engine whilst driving, smell of fuel in the cabin, loss of power & sometimes, a backfire. I want to start with the easiest solution, & then consider spark & electrics.
Can someone please tell me where I can find (to inspect & perhaps, replace) the fuel filter?
Cheers,

The problems with fuel fumes in the cabin are usually related with problems with fuel leaks in the top of the in tank fuel pump assembly.

Have a look here at these links to see location and fitting connections -
