914-6 w/2.4 '72 911 "T" motor, MFI
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? k I dunno. The filter that the P.O. installed doesn't look like it belongs there. Did Porsche have a filter in-line between tank & pump? The filter is supposed to be between the Fuel tank and fuel pump. What's an injector pump? |

What's an injector pump? The belt-driven pump that sends the fuel (under pressure) to the fuel injectors: (IMG:http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads2/MFI%20PUMP1082350165.jpg) In my car, there is a fuel filter immediately before the injector pump. |
