Fuel Filter Recommendations

Ronnie Smith Jr · 06-08-2009, 07:29 PM

I've seen them run both ways. When I had my car backhalfed, I ran all new wiring, fuel lines and bought a brand new cell with foam. I regularly checked it to determine if their were any pieces contaminating the system. My opinion is, if you take care of your "stuff" it should take care of you. With the fuel lines, I ran a single #12 out of the cell into a BG filter, directly mounted to a BG 400 pump. Out of the pump came #10 to the BG regulator. Out of the regulator with two #8's into Y block and out with a single #8 into the Q-jet. Maybe overkill with the size of lines, however, we wanted to make sure we had plenty of volume. We set the fuel pressure and forget it. We never had problems with erratic or spotty fuel flow. Regular maintenance of the fuel system seemed to work well.

The other recommendations sound great. I am not sure you can "over filter" your fuel for any foreign debris.

Good luck with the remaining season.
