abcus Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 A tow truck operator told me there are 5 filters between tank and the carb on a 86 wagon. Is that true ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef_tim Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 No. Two is all. One next to the fire wall, next to the brake booster and one in the back on the fuel pump platform. Later, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBrat Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Was that before or after he towed your subaru and then gave you the fix it bill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcus Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 I survived the bill. We got the car running and did not have to do a 200 mile tow. I know on another 86 subaru wagon I had there was a plastic filter near the electric fuel pump near the gas tank. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 There's only a single filter on the EA82 carbs. EA81's have a filter and a vapor seperator (which includes a filter, but it is neither required, nor it's primary purpose). GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opus Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 My 86 wagon Ea82 only has one near the fuel pump. Ok, be real specific on where it is. How would I find it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertsubaru Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Ok, be real specific on where it is. How would I find it? Look up at the frame in front of the right rear wheel. You will see a tin plate and right on top of it is the fuel pump and filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Cool...maybe I ought to change the filter. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quidam Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 A tow truck operator told me there are 5 filters between tank and the carb on a 86 wagon. Is that true ? Hey, My '86 carb wagon has two as well. Keep in mind there's probably a "sock" on the pickup in the fuel tank. A pre filter for the fuel pump.
