Most 1.9's have the plastic filter BEFORE the pump, and most 2.1's have the metal canister AFTER the pump. CA models are a little different. That is the original configuration, so many Vanagons do have the filter after the pump only, with unfiltered fuel entering the pump.

> The filter IS before the pump! The fact that the fuel tank is in the front of the vehicle is what is confusing you. The fuel goes from the front of the vehicle (where the tank is) thru the filter THEN to the pump. The whining of the pump is because the fuel filter is clogged. C'mon, you don't think those Germans would put a filter after the fuel pump do you?? > |
