I need a petcock fuel filter. The tall ones that go inside the tank. Just need one. Vintage meet is just 9 days away!! I can order one but probably wouldn't get it in time.

Scratch that. What happened was I was installing the petcock. One of the bolts was trying to cross thread, so I removed it to see what was going on. When in doing so, the short filter (reserve) fell of into the tank. I shook and shook and finally the noise stopped. I figured it fell out. I searched the floor for hours and finally gave up.
This morning I started to bump the tank around (toe & heel) on a carpeted floor. viola!! It's loose again and still in the tank. Now the trick is to get it out. Gave up for now as my arms are tired.

Got it out. Back in business. This time I smeared some Loctite Extreme Reair on it before putting it back in place. Always was kinda loose. Not any more!!
