The previous owner of my car (let's call him "Bubba") installed a regular plastic in-line fuel filter between the tank and the fuel pump. The factory fuel filter is upstream (between fuel pump and injector pump). Is this "pre-filter" necessary? Looks like one big fuel leak waiting to happen. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

no bigger leak potencial than the single filter i run upstream from the pump on my car. why would you want to suck all of the crap out of the bottom of the tank thru the primary pump?

The filter that the P.O. installed doesn't look like it belongs there. Did Porsche have a filter in-line between tank & pump? |
