fuel filters
Turbo Mini Forums

well i think i have trcked down my problem with the hog, its the pre filter to the pump may not be man enough for the job, it was a ?5 pot top fram filter, with 6mm id inlet and outlet, but seemed to have no resistance when i blew through it before fitting.

so what is was wondering was , is what type of filter you have fitted and what type of fuel system eg mine is standard tank outlet to a large t piece with 6.5mm id inlet to a 8.5mm outlet to pump with a 7mm return.

i had this filter before the t piece from the tank, but i dont think this is man enough for a gravity fed system.

but i might fit a injection filter on the pressure side just before the regulator and see if this cures the problem.

the inlet to the metty fuel pump is 10mm....

id go with that, makes sense

I used to run 2 pro purculator glass in-line filters (pre pump) but always thought the pump sounded a bit strange. I replaced these filters with 2 cheap plastic in-line jobbies and the pump immediately sounded better. It also got rid of my intermitant cutting out problem, i feel very lucky to still have an engine as mine has seemed to survive many times being run at 12psi and leaning out due to the restrictive filters i had been using.

yep dave thats what i thought, fitting a injection filter before the pump would cause to much restriction as they are mega fine filters to stop shit jamming up the injectors, i think thats what ill do.

I took TurboDaves advice and fitted the focus filter ... perfect for the job
