i have a 10psi max fuel filter. is it ok to run it between the carb and the regulator? i spoke to avonbar as i was worried that it wouldnt be up for running in between the pump and regulator and Ian said use it between the carb and regulator. |

if you run it in between the carb and regulator you will still see over 10psi of fuel pressure if running more then 7psi of boost, the only place there is very little pressure is in between the tank and pump "Can I legally marry people now that I am ordained in the Church of the SubGenius?" aka i know jack sh"t

Yep most use them between tank and pump, better for pump too to filter before it. -MINI CLUBMAN 1380 TURBO- |

All very true but make sure you check it regularly .... if it blocks you may end up really lean on a full power run and then you'll be catching the bus .... probably to the piston suppliers!!

Unless the filter is quite large and specifically designed to be run in front of an efi pump, I would NOT use it before the pump. It will starve the pump causing cavitation which will cause pump and running problems. EFI pumps must have a good unrestricted fuel supply. So that will mean a big free flowing filter. If its after the pump, whilst it still needs to flow well, it isnt as important, because the pump will be able to pump through it just fine. 9.85 @ 145mph

Although I'd like to have a filter in front of my fuel pump I couldn't find any that looked as if they'd flow enough to go on the suction side of the pump, so I use a filter from a VW Polo between reg and carb, it is ideal as it has the right size tails and is a metal cased filter.

They are pretty big and can be used in front of the pump. Big metal cannister type of thing, not that expensive. 9.85 @ 145mph

Maybe its just me. But I would not out a filter with an 8mm OD hosetail in front of an efi pump that has a larger hosetail.

Well having had a brand new pump seize on me due to shite getting in it i run a pre-filter. Its got 10mm tails, is see through and rebuildable and was about £10 from demon thieves i think. All Facet's run a pre filter and they're used on some high output engines that i dont hear of having any problems due to it?  Facet pumps pump a miniscule amount of fuel compared to an efi pump though, and many would be used in a dead end system, instead of a return style. I broke a pump once due to lack of pre-filter. I then added a steel bodied inline filter with 10mm hosetails between tank and pump. I had no end of trouble with it. I was surprised, as it was what I thought a reasonable size, at about 1.25" diamater and some 3" long. Which for most inline filters at the time seemed big. The pump made all sorts of noises, and under load, the car always had running problems, related to lack of fuel. eventually I re-worked the tank to accept a 12mm steel pipe, with a metal gauze on the end as a prefilter ( froma cavalier SRI pickup actually ) and dumped the 10mm inline filter. All problems were solved, and the pump was nice and quiet again. For reference, I currently use an Aeromotive fuel filter with a 100mic stainless element before my 2x044 pumps on the granada. That filter seems to work fine. I would have used 2, but my tank was made with only 1 outlet.....lack of forethought when I had the tank made. 9.85 @ 145mph
