use a decent filter for your carb

[grumpyvette]

I can,t even count the times I see guys having problems with fuel flow that are at least partly the result of guys adding one of these cheap filters to the fuel line,

 

sintered bronze filters are JUNK, that clog easily, won,t flow high voluums of fuel, and can break and leak and require constant checking,the small plastic inline filters are little if any better, filter medium surface area is a total joke, if you got two months before flow was restricted its a $%$%^ miracle YES you need a A FUEL FILTER, a reasonably cheap QUALITY FILTER with an easy to replace element,that you can replace every year or so mounted near the tank

Great advise. I've been looking of a filter lide those gut for some reason marine supply houses didn't occur to me.

I agree, I used a big mesh type filter before the fuel pump, but I made the mistake of using an Earls sintered bronze final filter at the engine. Today @ the 1127 mile mark I had to replace it cuz the car was falling flat on it's face.

 

I need to identify a good compact inline paper element filter that can withstand the 58 psi the LS1 runs at. I know I'll need to replace the filter again next month, so that is the time to put on a different one.

 

Edit: Thinking about this one from Jegs.

Thanks Grumpy for the filter tip. That is a nice looking filter with lots of filter media area.
