Looking for insight on placement of fuel filter and pump. I know there are varying opinions, front or back but here is my twist and want to see what anyone thinks. It’s okay if you question my thinking.
To bring you up to speed, I have the entire fuel system removed and just installed stainless fuel lines from Tangerine. I’m thinking about placing the fuel filter up under the tank and leaving the fuel pump in the rear. I just ordered a Bosch 69133 pump to replace the original one. So this changes routing the fuel lines to two ports, one on each side of the pump verse three on one end of the pump. The hard lines come into the engine bay facing towards the passenger side which does not provide enough room to place the filter then the pump without looping the fuel lines. I’m trying to think how to keep things neat and simple. I’ve attached a picture of the pump mounting location, original to the car. Please share your thoughts and ideas. If someone is really for mounting everything up front under the tank, I’d like to see some good pics . That seems like that could get crowded and hard to work on later. Just having a filter up there with a bit of extra hose, I’m thinking I could easily pull that through the 6” hole to change without much hassle. Thanks, Mike |

Nice work, looks good and clean in your car !
I did recently change the 3port to a 2port. Fuelpump and filter both in the back, and I 'looped' the line. . Still tidy enough for me, since it fits there with the other stuff and not in plain sight. In my post you see the longer fuelline because of that loop http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=345333 |
