I use an spi tank with a puma pump, i was going to fit another filter but decided it was another leak point and as the pump pump had a filter built in i thought what the hell. But reading this makes me wonder if i did the right thing!! On 7th Nov, 2011 apbellamy said:

I would never fit a filter with such small pipes before the pump. It will heavily restrict it and cause cavitation 9.85 @ 145mph

On the metro van we have the feed from the tank T'ing into the return line, then an injection fuel filter with 8mm tails (doesn't need to be any bigger as that's the hose size we have used) then the standard metro turbo fuel pump using the standard supply tube upto the regulator. Works a treat. Edited by apbellamy on 12th May, 2011. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Works a treat. Those filters will be designed for the pumped side, not suction. I used a free flowing one with 10mm before and even then the pump was screaming. 8mm is far far too small for an efi pump to be used as a pre-filter 9.85 @ 145mph

Might be a good idea to swap ours round then. Pump does make some racket to be fair. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Forgot to mention, my 100micron filter and pipes before the pump is all in AN-8, after the pump/reg/return etc is AN-6. |

I'd imagine an OEM efi tank will have some form of gauze or strainer in front of the pump. In this instance I wouldnt be overly concerned about a filter before the pump. If your fuel pickup is DIY with no form of filtration at all, then IMO you really should have some for of free flowing filter. This is purely to protect the pump. Nothing more. The Bosch style roller vane pumps arent tolerant of dirt at all. Under normal operation the pump should just sound smooth. No odd noises etc especially as it's having an easy life not really having to generate any pressure. If it sounds erratic, it's likely the pump is cavitating Edited by stevieturbo on 14th May, 2011. 9.85 @ 145mph

We're using the standard pickup with gause in the tank, which goes to the filter then T's into the return which goes to the pump input On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

I'm using the standard mini fuel tank, and i've had a look inside it and i presume there is no filter inside the tank already!?
