Re: ??? Gas Filter???

While the underhood sticker DOES refer to the "White Round item with the vacumm hoses going to it in the pic below as a "Gas Filter" (???).......It's not an actual fuel filter. This part is a vacumm "Check Valve" that runs between the throttle body and the MAP Sensor that's mounted on the firewall bracket. The only actual inline fuel filter on your Geo Metro is located just behind the drivers side rear wheel, on the inside of the frame of the car.

1994 Geo Map Sensor and Check Valve.
