Fuel Filter removal

[Ratbat]

This could be the trickiest question I have ever asked on any veedub forums. I have moved the fuel filter to the underside of my '69 Beetle. Every time I go to change the filter I have to cut it off the fuel line. It is just near impossible to get that Sumbeach off with just a tough pull. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone have an idea for a quick fix. I've been working on an idea for a removable and replaceable piece of the fuel line complete with an inline shutoff valve. I've also just about got to the last stretching point of the current fuel line.

Your idea for a shut off valve makes the most sense..... Cut off at the fuel tank, direct to the filter (Under the front end), and typically not a problem after that.

I used to have the same problem but solved it by using a 2 two foot long connecting rubber fuel line--I can now simple remove the wheel and the fuel filter is right in front of me and I can tug and remove and replace the fuel filter.
