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??)

With the aid of a wide flat blade screw driver, I've answered my own question: The filter is the normal spring-loaded ceramic filter element. 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)
