Well I tried a little test on the 2 new fuel taps and filters that I have here tonight and it seems that they both flow the same. I just used 2 stroke mix and just let it flow and I couldn't really tell any difference between the 2 taps and filters. I filled the tank so the fuel was sitting a bit above the fuel filters for the test.
But what I did notice after I finished I removed the gold coloured filter off the new tap I spotted something a little different in their designs. The new tap and filters with "Made In Australia" on them with the gold coloured filter actually sit a little higher on the tap. So basically almost the bottom half of the gold filter is blocked by the plastic moulding on the tap. So when the fuel level gets to around the half way mark on the gold coloured filter, you can expect the fuel flow to start slowing down somewhat as the plastic underneath won't allow the fuel to flow through no longer.
Now on the older style tap with the long white fuel filter, it looks to be a much better design in terms of letting you use more fuel from your tank as it gets near empty. Because the lowest point of the long white fuel filter sits around 8mm lower than the new tap and filter. So the old taps with the long white filters will let you use up that little bit more fuel as it gets really low in the tank when compared to the new one's.
So there you go I guess I stumbled across something different between the older and the latest fuel taps and filters...lol
Cheers!
