Hi All,

Im in NZ where unfortunately we only have E10 at the pump. Buying E85 is complete ripoff and i dont think my fuel system would cope.

I recently pulled out my 044 and noticed it was full of small particles in the filer. My engine never gets below half way and the tank was cleaned out maybe 1000kms ago. I run an inline fuel filter in the 1 inch pipe between the surge tank and the 044.

I was thinking about ditching the inline filter between the tank and pump as it looks restrictive due to design. An idea ive seen before is to have inline fuel filters into the feeds going into the tank. Im running standard -6 fuel line. What filters are you guys using and where do you get them from?

Are they from a certain model of car or?

THanks

E10 doesnt sound like it has any connection to your filter issues.... sounds more like dodgy storage tanks, i run E10 in my bimmer all the time

So your a fan of the E10 ,the missus always puts it in her Honda i was skeptical..

    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
    • It's been quite the ordeal but hey, at least you figured it out.
    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
