Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) inline fuel filter

[pz1]

what is a good inline fuel filter to put on after the main fuel filter, just before the vp44.

Main FF should be good enough... I would recomend to put a "Rock Catcher" FF before the lift pump to keep it clean... Something like a 30 micron.

I use a Cannon 8um inline ff just before the VP44. It is built for big race engines, AN-12 fittings and is diesel compatiable. They have a reducer AN-12 to AN-6. Presently I do not run the OEM ff.



I have a RACOR 690T right after the fuel line comes out of the tank before anything, lp, lines, anything.



In fuel filtering you want the water block filter to catch any free water (one fo the functions of the OEM ff element), and you also want the particle filtering.



My Racor does the free water block and 10um filtering, the Cannon does final 8um particle filtering of anything that might have sluffed off in the lp, lines etc.
