Fuel filter
Mark G - 7/9/08 at 08:15 PM

Hi all,

I'm weighing up my options for fuel filters at the mo. I'm thinking of getting one of the simple plastic fuel filters like THIS. Has anyone ever had a problem with fuel starvation from these cheap filters?

I'm just wondering if they'll flow enough fuel for my blade engine.

Used one on my 1600 x-flow engine last year with no problems, just replaced for a new one as the other one was getting a lot of crap in it (so must be doing its job).

The old Suzki SuperCarry/Bedford Rascal had a similar filter, but the fuel flow was in a Z Pattern. It entered horizontaly at the base and exited horizontaly at the top(oposite corner) Kept most crap at the base.

Only thing is im sure it had electrical fuel pump.

I've just bought two - I'm expecting a lot of rubbish to be in the tank when first fitted, and don't want it ruining the pump.
