need a picture please: 1973.5 911 CIS fuel filter in engine bay

[911 tweaks]

can someone please post a nice picture of where the fuel filter is mounted in the engine bay of a 1973.5 911 with CIS...thx in advance for your help...bob

The original filter is no longer available. There are a few threads on how some have adapted the replacement filter to fit, since the original mounting will not work with the newer filter.

thx sully...I guess that is why the filter in a car i am working on is just dangleing below the fuel accumulator rubbing in the chassis frame rail & it is not right...
**Do you or anyone have pics of what has been done to deal with nla fuel filters for these cars...??

I just did this on my '74. Your best bet is to source the bracket and "bent Pipe" that replaced the bracket and filter used on '73 and early '74 CIS systems. Suggest you put in a WTB in the classifieds for the bracket and pipe.

This is what the replacement filter looks like with the replacement bracket:

My 73.5. The filter is stamped "NAPA", but no number visible. Good luck.

here is what I am dealing with...maybe an "S" shaped metal fuel pipe to connect the accum to filter will solve my situation but where to mount the filter...?

Looks like your accumulator and filter are flipped. Here is the bracket and pipe. I sold the bracket, but I still have the pipe if you need it.

Agree with Mark, someone has flipped your accumulator and filter in order to replace the NLA original filter. The bent pipe with bracket as shown in the pics is the way to go...

ok great info here guys...
a few q's:
1. is the fuel filter avail here at pelican or do i have to go to napa...?
2. I have the correct bracket which it still in place & you all are correct they flipped stuff around to enable them to use a generic filter it appears...so, is the filter nla...?
3. what about the metal fuel line that is semi circle shaped...is that still avail...? if not, i will buy this from mreid...
lmk on these q's and we can wrap this up...thx again...

[911 tweaks]

a few more q's:
1. so, mreid please pm me with details on buying your offered fuel pipe...thx...
2. is the picture mreid shows the correct orientation of the accum & filter in reference to how the bracket should be mounted in the car or is LakeClem's picture the correct orientation or does one of the pics need to rotate left or right x# of degrees...?

The fuel filter is available from Pelican. Fuel Filter (Bosch 0 450 905 003), 911 (1974-76)

Hard to tell from the picture but the bracket in your car appears to be for the NLA filter and will not work with the bent pipe. The bracket pictured in MReids pic bends at close to 90 degrees. Mark's picture needs to be turned 90 clockwise for the correct orientation. The fuel accumulator sits straight up.

To use the bent pipe line with the above fuel filter you will need to source the later bracket as shown in Mark's picture.

ok thx guys...here is a better picture of what I have...
so, is this the original bracket or the "kit" bracket to work with oe or later style/available fuel filters...?
this sm bracket almost looks like it is part of the elect panel but I cant get my head in there to see if so...l

That is the original bracket for the NLA filter. On the later updated bracket the accumulator and filter are angled at closer to 90 degrees per MReid's picture. If you compare the bracket in your pic to the update bracket you will see a noticeable difference in the angle.

Although you can't see the actual size of the bracket you should be able to feel the edge of it right behind the CD unit. Those 3 bolts/screws you see attach the bracket to the fender well.

thx jack & everyone...so to resolve my original intention = replace the fuel filter & properly attach what ever filter I can get & the fuel accumulator, what are my options...?

ok guys...new info from the local dealer...IF I try to order the original filter, p/n 901 110 232 00, I am told to buythe following:
1. filter PCG 110 909 10...for 70 bucks...
2. bracket PCG 110 232 00...for 500 bucks...ouch
***Does anyone have a picture of this bracket & filter...?
I asked the dealer what about the fuel accum and he said no info so it must not be affected...maybe this new filter bracket attaches to the oe bracket...?
Any & all help is greatly appreciated here...thx again...Bob

You're making this way to difficult. What you need is the bracket and bent pipe exactly as shown in MReids picture and this filter: Fuel Filter (Bosch 0 450 905 003), 911 (1974-76). MReid already has the bent pipe you need. Post a WTB add in the Pelican classifieds for the update bracket. You already have an accumulator. Once you have the bent pipe, update bracket and filter, you are ready to install and go.

You should be able to get all this for under $100...

thx jack...I sometimes get all wrapped up in my attempts to do something...:-)

Hello Mreid...please pm me or email me direct at bobf@design-associates-ne.com as i would like to buy the bent fuel pipe you have available...

Thx again guys...I'll post a pic when I am all done... :-) Bob

[911 tweaks]

thx jack...just posted a WTB for the updated fuel filter bracket...

I hope Mreid still has the bent fuel pipe...

thx again everyone...Bob
