Re: glass fuel bowl observation

I have observed those fuel filter bowls on my cars and really have never seen one go down that way. The one on the Kaiser I drove home yesterday (40 miles) was bubbling at the top with about 1/8-1/4" space at the top. I have at least 2 or 3 6V electric pumps that have quit on me but they are the bellows type. On the other hand the electric bellows pump on my '53 Hudson has been on it about 11 years. I'm only using the solid state type now. But even a couple of those have failed on my brother's cars over the last 3-4 years.
