## Questions & Answers

**Q: what size are the inlet and outlet hose size**
A: 5/16" inlet and outlet. The return line is 1/4". Wix 33041 is 3/8" inlet and outlet with 1/4" return.

**Q: Which direction should the dual outlets go, towards the carb or away? And should the vapor outlet be on installed on top of fuel line outlet?**
A: The two outlets towards the carb. Got the return line sitting at 12 o'clock(straight up) and works great

**Q: Will this work for my 1968 Chrysler with a 383?  Have horrible vapor lock.**
A: The Wix 33054 is the one with the pressure relief line that you can route back to the tank or have it dump somewhere in the rear away from your exhaust. This is the way to get rid of vapor lock on a vehicle with a mechanical vapor lock. If it's not a mechanical pump vapor issue, a thicker carb spacer 1/4"+ will probably do the trick.

**Q: Does it have a check valve in it?**
A: No

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WIX, an old trusted name in filters
*by S***T on November 2, 2025*

WIX is rather synonymous with filters. Since ethanol fuel became standard at the pump, on older carbureted vehicles, heat soak and vapor lock became an issue in warm weather. Did I say alcohol in fuel was a bad idea? In other words, your vehicle can run fine until you shut off the engine, let it set ten minutes, and find that it won't restart. You can insulate metal fuel lines to help. A phenolic spacer under the carburetor to keep heat from being transferred to the carburetor really helps. But, the one trick that does seem to work is by using this type of fuel filter, with a third smaller spout to return fuel pressure to the gas tank. This requires some plumbing, but if you are messing with this, you can probably do the installation. So, the pressure that would build up, displacing the fuel trying to get to the carburetor, is now relieved and fuel can flow. It's actually a pretty cheap fix.
