Our 1973 +8 had symptoms of a clogged fuel filter - running and not running etc. Unfortunately the original AC filter is no longer available and I was supplied a (smaller) Mann filter. Once installed I took the car for test drive. It drove fine, but I smelled fuel and stopped. When I started the engine again, fuel was pouring out just underneath of the fuel pump. It seems as there is a kind of an overflow tube coming from the carburettor and ending up there...? But why is the fuel pouring out? Obviously we can't drive the car and I got it towed home and it's now sitting in our driveway. What on earth is happening?? Any help is much appreciated! Cheers /Finn
