fuel filters and pipery Need help asap!
Turbo Mini Forums

guys,

need to sort out and order a fuel filter asap so i get it saturday.

what i need to know is this.

where do you run your filters? before or after pump?

i have 10mm outlet on tank, going to pump 10mm
could fit a filter here.

i am unsure as to how to join my pump outlet (is it 6mm?) to my 10mm supply line to regulator. should i fit a reducer??

what partnumber filter does anyone use?? i went thought EVERY filter in halfords and diddnt find one i thought suitable.

your help on this would be most appreciated

Ross.

most people run a filter between the tank and pump and between the regulator and carb, i personally use those little plastic see through filters although they probably aren't ideal.

I cut the tabs off the taper on the plastic one to make the outlets 8mm

i would use a high flow filter to avoid loss of fuel pressure and would install it before the pump this would avoid any debris damaging the pump, you can get high flow filters at demon tweeks but the same brand is available at fuelsystem.co.uk for lots cheaper also they offer all diameters available, i've used em they are very good plus thers no charge for delivery !

i've used a pre turbo filter from mini speed, ?42 quid though, put it before the pump to stop it getting fucked, they really dont recomend the inline glass ones etc.
