I've dropped my fuel tank to replace some of the seals and hose and am working on the rest of the fuel lines whilst I have the opportunity. Here's the current layout:
There seems to be excess fuel line looped around in the engine bay and the current fuel filter is a small inline Halfords unit which I'm planning on changing.
What kind of diesel filter should I be looking for?
I also want to add a hand pump bulb, am I right in saying this just sits in the fuel line between the filter and engine?

Re: Diesel filter recommendation
While the fuel tank is out I'm also replacing my snapped handbrake cable, welding up a couple of holes in the floor and extending the air duct that comes out of the floor behind the front seats to later add a diesel heater. Is there anything else I should be doing while the tank is out of the way?

Re: Diesel filter recommendation
You can run the stock diesel filter, there’s 2 types, I’ll see if I can find the part number for the one you need

Re: Diesel filter recommendation
you need the 191127401 or 191127401C filter
Use some reputable brand name one.
At least Filtron or better

Re: Diesel filter recommendation
Why would you use or recommend JK.
Their parts are pants and overpriced.
Use BW or GSF.

Re: Diesel filter recommendation
And its shocking that the fuel filter is held on with a zip tie.
You have your work cut out to get that in order.
