I was looking at some pics McMark posted and noticed what looks like a fuel filter in the engine bay just before the fuel rail. Did new cars have this filter there? Anyone else do this and is it a good idea? If the heat isn't a factor, it would seem to be easier to change the second fuel filter there.

QUOTE(Root_Werks @ Apr 13 2010, 02:40 PM) Yup, I haven't ever seen (Not that they don't exist) a plastic filter on anything above 12psig before. Any high pressure filter I've seen has always been metal. But then, I haven't seen a lot.

But not on the pressure side of things. That's what he's referring to ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy I didn't say anything about where the filter was placed. I know well where it goes. I was refering to roots statement that they never used plastic ones over 12 psi. I think they did! |
