Petrol filter.

I've asked on without much success so fall back tothe experts.;-) I've got a problem on the old Rover with the one way valve in the petrolpump failing. It's a fuel injected car so has a high pressure pump mountedunderneath and close to the tank. There is a filter after the pump and agauze one inside the tank which I'm told often fails by falling off. ;-) So what I need is a 1/2" fitting in line filter to go in the rubber hosebetween the tank and pump - there's plenty of room for near any size andshape within the transmission tunnel behind the pump. I can get one from a specialist racing shop no problem - apart from thecost of anything up to 100 quid, whereas the normal disposable inline 3/8"type for the high pressure side only cost a few pounds.So can anyone think of a suitable lower cost one? It doesn't have to be afine particle filter - the original only being a gauze type. And of coursesuitable for low pressure only. Perhaps something for a tractor? ;-)

Tractors are mostly diesel with typically cav296 filters, old petrol tractors used AC glass bowl type filters which are still available from Demon Tweeks.

Halfords do a range of external metal canister filters for modern injection cars, you would need to apply some diy to convert the ends to 1/2.

Can't seem to find it even on a worldwide Ebay search. The actual Ebay listing number usually finds these things, though.
