I have a thought and would like input on placement of fuel filter and a fuel pump. I know there are varying opinions on whether to put it up front or leave it in the back but I’d like to get everybody’s pros and cons on putting the filter upfront and leaving the pump back by the engine in order to clean up the soft fuel lines.
I am in the process of restoring the entire fuel system and just installed stainless lines through the tunnel from tangerine racing. My thought process is since the lines come out the back by the engine bay facing towards the passenger side and the mount for the pump isn’t that far away it doesn’t leave the much room to put a fuel filter in line prior to the pump without running it underneath or behind and looping it back around.
I have on order a Bosch 69133 fuel pump which has the inlet on one side and exit on the other versus my original pump with all three ports on one end.
I can easily place the filter under the tank near that 6 inch opening with enough line that I could pull it out to change it periodically. It just seems like extra work and Would be pretty cramped to try to put the pump and filter up there in order to service it.
For those that have placed both the pump and filter upfront I’d really like to see Some pictures and hear how that has worked out especially when you do occasionally service the filter. I would expect everything to fit under the tank for Aesthetic reasons. I look forward anybody’s comments or suggestions. Thanks, Mike.
