Long term tinkerer...  Group: Members Posts: 1,879 Joined: 7-April 03 From: Lyons, CO Member No.: 529  |
So as long as I'm replacing the rest of the fuel system, I might as well pick a filter of my choosing...
Fuel pump is located in front (above the steering rack), fuel lines are all AN-6. Now the choice is what fuel filter to put in there? Preferably something with threaded ports instead of barbed fittings. Any suggestions? This will be a fuel injected engine, but will probably never need to flow GOB of fuel as it will be running a warmed over 2.0L. There are those little glass bodied filters at the FLAPS, but I doubt they're really that good. But it is nice to be able to inspect the filter element for gunk... Suggestions? -Josh2 |

On any injected car I would use the fuel filter from an MFI 911. The filter on it is designed to stop extremely tiny particles from passing through 'cause they would clog the precision built injectors. And it has threaded ports on it already.

I have Canton filters on my cars. Both oil and fuel filters. You can get filters with either 1 or 8 micron elements

Here is a 2nd for the Canton filters. They went up in price though, about $100 with the AN -6 adapters.
1 micron and its even ok as a prefilter! http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/group.asp...upID=FUELFILCAN -Rich Hilgersom |

Nice idea, but the MFI filters are threaded on one end to install like an oil filter, and the other end is a hose fitting. You want a CIS fuel filter, but the fittings are metric, and most take a cone design fitting. Some take a banjo fitting on one end, but you still have to deal with metric fittings. AN implies braided SS covered hose, which tends to develop leaks. Be careful out there! The Cap'n |

I also run a Canton 1 micron filter, Here's a shot from a couple years back before my engine was installed. The car runs a consistant 50lbs. of fuel pressure all day long. Ron Attached image(s)
