Is there supposed to be a filter in the glass sediment bowl on the fuel pump for a PA?
According to the United Motor Service section of the 1928-33 Master Parts book the 30-U (after serial number 151757) and the PA used AC part number 855471 for the complete pump. The illustration shows a glass sediment bowl.
The "Bail, Gas Strainer" is AC part number 854016 was used on the 30-U (after serial number 151757), PA, PB, PC, PD, PE and PF.
The "Bowl, Gas Strainer" is AC part number 854004 for those same cars.
Thanks, but that doesn't really answer my question. I have the bowl, and the bail that holds it on. I was wondering if there is supposed to be a screen or filter element inside the glass bowl.

Same parts book lists a "Screen, Upper" (AC #854009) and "Screen, Lower" (AC #854015) for 30-U after the break in serial number, PA, PB, PC, PD, PE and PF. (Actually I don't see PB listed for the lower screen.) I only recall one screen, located at the top of the sediment bowl, on my 1933 PD.
