In-line fuel filters - Jackabeen93 - 04-06-2012
Alright I'm wanting to change my fuel filter but I think I'd be better getting a inline one I imagine there less prone to gettin leaks etc so I'm just wondering what you lot have used and where you got it from ? Cheers

Sorry mate, i got held up by street racing chavs, who lost
and a new shed.i ordereed this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280703440097? ... 1423.l2649
as for the existing filter housing, just drain it out and remove it if you want - be careful, if you're using veg, that the new inline filter will have no heating component - perhaps insulate the inline filter
Re: In-line fuel filters - Jackabeen93 - 05-06-2012
Cheers man nar I'm not running veg more hasle than its worth IMO cheers for the helps dude
Re: In-line fuel filters - ginge191 - 05-06-2012
in that case, have fun!
edit: to be fair, i wont be using mine now, as i've down graded the turbo and wont be swirling as much fuel...
Re: In-line fuel filters - Jackabeen93 - 05-06-2012
Oh and did you have to use any new fuel pipes or are the existing ones sufficient ? And the breather from the rocker cover what did you do with that?

Flows much better and the return is piped in, its a car/fuel system that really should have a lift pump.......but it doesnt!
Re: In-line fuel filters - Poodle - 05-06-2012
Wouldn't insulate the filter if you're on veg, as the engine bay temps will be the only thing warming the fuel up!

They're excellent fun to bleed!!!
I think me and Darren spent around 3 hours trying to prime one once...
Best part is they do have a lift pump, but only lifts it to the top of the fuel tank into a swirl pot... Lol!

The standard filter housing doesn't seal very well letting air into the system.
