Eh? None of that made sense? Carb? Diesels are all injected?

Fuel filter is large canister on drivers side suspension turret - looks a little like a very large old style oil filter.

I reckon you mean the atmospheric pressure sensor filter, over near PAS reservoir?

Is this the glass-domed filter assembly in the nearside engine bay, near the power steering reservoir?
If it is, one small-bore pipe goes to atmoshere, (at least mine does!).

I think he's confused here, as it does look like an in-line fuel filter.
