Do I need a high pressure filter
Snuggs - 12/2/09 at 05:16 PM

Do I need a high pressure filter between the high pressure pump and the injectors ?

Yes !

Yep

I haven't got one, mine is filtered before the pump.

So..........anything coming adrift in the pump goes straight to the injector's ?

Hmmm good point, i did look for a filter to go in between but ended up with a Sytec pre-pump filter, i have to change the pipe work and pump position so what should i do?

Definitely, and a pre-filter too if you value the pump.

Just fit a generic high pressure/injection filter after the pump - mine is from Halfraud's (for a BMW , I think) - cost about a fiver
I mounted mine with an old coil bracket .

Yes! Definately worth using. A post high pressure pump is cheap, new fuel injectors are not!!!
Not worth risking it IMHO!!
