Fuel Filters For Braided Line -6 An Fitting

[PM-R33]

Im trying to find a ryco (or any other brand) normal in-line fuel filter but instead of the normal barb type push on fittings, i want ones that are made for -6 AN fittings. I've had a bit of a look around on the net but can't seem to find a part number. What are you guys using? Im installing a fuel pressure gauge for the next tune and all the fuel lines are braided.

The braided line is a pain in the ass to get back off when doing a filter change due to the barb style holding it in place so i would rather have an easy fitting that i can unbolt. I remember seeing them at Autobarn when i worked there but god knows what one it was. The only drama i can think of the -6 line uses a 9/16"x18 thread for the AN fittings, do they make fuel filters with that thread or will a metric equivalent work ok?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I might call Ryco tomorrow after work. Thanks guys.

Ahh so you do have to go those styles, i was hoping Ryco or some one made something cheap with just some threads on them.

yes you have to go to an earls style inline filter. They only cost about $30

Ahh ok fair enough. I havn't read much into those types of filters, they last just as long as a normal fuel filter, change every 5,000-10,000km or so?

EDIT: Just had a quick Google search and the cheapest one i have found so far is like $60.....Hmm maybe im going to just have to deal with these Ryco ones being such a bitch to get off.

[PM-R33]

Oh really? So they last forever or....

yep, bit more than i guessed but hey

Well if they last a long time i suppose it is worth it. Im going to do a bit more reading about them cause i read somewhere that they are a "pre filter", so not sure if that means you shouldn't use one on it's own
