Hi all,

Ive got a fuel setup in the boot of my car that I would like to have another fuel filter installed.

From the surge tank to the pump i run a half inch line and would like to put a fuel filter in there. Otherwise im quite happy to mount something into the -6 hose from the fuel tank into the surge tank, however dont know what i could use that would work and not cost the earth.

My 044 has particles of stuff from my tank lodged in it, so obviously the sock isnt quite doing the job 100%

Any advice would be great.

Cheers

For my inline front filter i have a ryco z200 but they make a range of generic filters with and without bends and in a variety of diameters so you should be able to find something at your local autoparts shop.

Hi , if this filter can live in a low pressure environment there is one used in an older Volvo - it may have been from an old K Jet mechanical fuel injection system .

I honestly can't remember its part number but it has quite large barbs - something like 12 or 13mm from memory .

I had a boot mounted EFI conversion system in a Bluebird many years ago and it had 1/2 fuel hose in part of it .

I can only think it would have been between the pot and the Bosch 975 pump I used because I doubt the Carter low pressure pump or most of the pots fittings would have been larger than 8 or 10mm .

I think Stewart Wilkins Motorsport has them so worth a call if you can live with a plastic in line barbed filter/strainer type device .

Cheers A .

Hi disco, i ended up tracking one down so will post up the part number for everyone. Its Volvo 202711 and its definitley a big ugly plastic filter.

Is there anything else i could use (that may be a little nicer looking) that would go into the feed lines instead of the surge to pump line.

    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 馃槵 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 馃槄
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
