This eBay Carter WCFB was stated to have a Carter "ceramic" fuel filter. From this eBay photo, I just assumed that it was a glass bowl with a ceramic filter element. In reality it is a Carter Filter but the element is a new one on me. Anybody seen one of these lately (OR ever??)

Difference is instead of glass bowl to hold the filter element and spring, this one has a stamped steel bowl. I guess the concern was glass bowl breakage but....was that ever a real thing??? Replacement filter elements are Carter 30-82. Available through Carter (I presume) and aftermarket resellers like JEGS (as a 180-30-82) https://carterengineered.com/fuel-filter-30-82 Edited by 56D500boy 2023-02-02 8:48 PM (InsideTheMysteriousMetalBowlCarterFuelFilter.jpg) (Carter30-82FuelFilterElementAndGasket.jpg) Attachments ---------------- InsideTheMysteriousMetalBowlCarterFuelFilter.jpg (144KB - 40 downloads) Carter30-82FuelFilterElementAndGasket.jpg (148KB - 40 downloads)
