Does anybody have this type of printing style on his FISPA fuel filter canister? Possible on late E-Seies... ?! Regards Matthias Image Unavailable, Please Login
This one was on my #03934 in th 80's. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
thanks Francis, perfectly correct This FISPA print was on the fuel filter with 206 GT, L-Series and E-Series from #03678. (M-Series and early E-Series did not have this fuel filter originally installed) Any E-Series Dino with a chassis no. north of #04000 with this Fispa print or the possible late version I posted? Regards Matthias
As we are on the topic, there are some differences on the covers. The brighter cover is from L series #01104, label with rivets, bleed hole on the front. Arrows indicate fuel flow, right to left. Darker one, is from E Series #03724, label without rivets, with holes but only a spot of contact adhesive. Arrows indicate direction of flow, left to right. I am curious mostly about the lack of rivets, as Francis is also missing them. There aren't any holes on the cover, but there are on the label. I know, they ran out of rivets at Fispa Regards, Alberto Image Unavailable, Please Login
Besides the trough bolt that holds it to the canister, and the bleed hole, is the other hole for a gauge in other applications, or field pressure testing?
Go to a place that does trophys. They are normally well set up for small tags, in short production runs.
Alberto, Here is my 1973 #7472 filter outfit. From cleaning memory the label on top of the canister is a foil stick on. Unfortunately I don't have a face on view of the yellow transfer to hand, but it looks similar to the one Matthias and you are showing.

I've already had my wife helping with pics. To save some time where is the pump located. I already have the rt rear tire off and the fender skirt. I'd be happy for to help. # *04022*
it`s located on the left side of the engine bay, very low down attached to the frame to take pictures is only possible from underneth regards Matthias
Specialized aluminum workshops can do this, the colors on the label are most probably eloxated (anodized). I found out about this when doing research for the reproduction of AEC104 labels which use the same process.
The decals are finally ready to order. The costs are Euro 25,- + shipping. Every order gets one dummy with spelling mistakes too, for trying. Step 1: Take the decal and remove the backside Step 2: Put the decal on the fuel filter housing and fix with additional tape Step 3: Take a wooden stick (e.g. backside of a pencil) and rub the yellow letters and strokes on the housing. I suggest to start from the outside and work through to the middle. Especially with the strokes you need to work in one go. Step 4: Gently remove the decal and give attention that all letters and strokes left the decal and are on the housing. Step 5: Take the backside removed in step 1 and gently press the yellow letters and strokes on the housing if necessary. Step 6: Ready, if you want you can add matt clear lacquer for protection (not necessary) Regards Matthias Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I had the Dino on the lift for the first time and looked for the Fispa cannister. Here it is, with the decal. It probably has never been off the car. Andres Image Unavailable, Please Login
Oh crap, now I am going to have to ask my wife to help take pics of my canister. Back under the car for some early morning Sat activities. As if I am not in enough trouble already.
Andres, I concur with Matthias' comments on your car! I would take a look at the canister filter element, but first drain the tanks It is the same as for a Fuel Injected Alfetta. By the way, is there an old Alfa Romeo dealer in Manila? Regards, Alberto
