It would seem you have the filter in the tunnel----Correct?
It is a major PITA to get to the filter from the top, but there are folks who installed side access panels in the tunnel. Great modification.

I also suggest you split the top cover into two parts front/aft just behind the fuel selector to make access to the fuel filter and the flap actuator a lot easier.
I don't believe it is wise to have unfiltered fuel to go thru pump, especially thru the fuel meter (Red Cube)I mounted my filter in the normal spot, deep in the tunnel, with difficult access. It occurs to me that the hose from the firewall to the engine driven fuel pump is rather long and the fuel filter could be mounted in line, somewhere forward of the firewall, allowing much easier access. Maybe one could even mount the filter to the fitting coming out of the firewall, with a hose to the fuel pump. This would put unfiltered fuel through the fuel flow meter and fuel pump, but there are still the screens in the tanks to stop big chunks.
Assuming everything is properly supported, would this work? Or any I missing something magical about the order of fuel switch, filter, pump, totalizer? Would there be a risk of plugging the pump or fuel flow meter with debris too small for the tank screens?
Thanks for link to manual. I’m going to assemble things needed to remove, clean, extra o rings etc.
I’m expecting fuel in the line. I’m not wanting to spill. I was considering running the engine and then turning fuel selector off so the engine uses the fuel up in the line. Bad idea?
Has anyone ever found any significant contamination in the Airflow filter? I have never found ANY contaminants in 6 years. I’m thinking to check only every 2-3 years given the hassle involved.
