Hello All,

After my recent adventure fixing my fuel pump relay I discovered that I am missing the internal fuel pump filter on my 85 720 original fuel pump. It orks great otherwise and I really hate putting an aftermarket pump in so, I as wondering if any of you knew where I could find a new filter that fits inside the fuel pump. Ive tried all of the auto part stores and I even called Nissan directly. Nissan no longer makes or carries the filter so I'm sort of at a loss here. Any help is greatly appreciated.

-Thanks

I try to maintain manufacture originality, but alas its impossible when the stop making the necessary parts. Some things just need changing. Good luck finding the original filter.
