thevalerieleigh Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Hi all, looking for someone willing to receive and return to Ajijic a fuel filter for my Miata. It's about 6" tall and 4" round, it looks kind of like an oil filter but it's a fuel filter. Please let me know if anyone's going to be NOB and willing to do this for me. As always, thanks!

thevalerieleigh Posted June 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Yes, the problem is it's a 1999 Mazda Miata and Mexico is only stocking parts for when they began selling Mazdas in Mexico. Went through this several years ago when I needed a light replaced. I've got the item in my Amazon USA cart, just waiting for the mechanic to confirm tomorrow morning that this is the one he wants. I'll be ready to order it then. I may get lucky as someone has offered to bring it back June 9th so with my Amazon Prime 2 day shipping, it shouldn't be a problem. Fingers crossed, LOL. Thanks for the suggestion, though. Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha1 Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 A generic fuel filter can be used at times if the original isn't available, but I suspect your mechanic knows this and has some reason I'm not aware of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeanRoy Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 When I checked, Amazon ships those right to here for $7.46 with no import fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thevalerieleigh Posted June 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 Many thanks to the kind people who called or wrote to help me out. Happy to say a friend is driving down and will bring it to me. Salud! Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
