this is my set up so far, but be for i tighten everything and cut any more steel braided line i was wondering what you guys think.

heres my question: will i run into any problems with having a fuel filter directly on my fuel rail?



ruturn line goes under the fpr, not over...

one fuel filter inside fuel cell....

 

i think that you will eventually have a problem with the rail leaking after awhile, there is quite a bit of stuff hanging off that one fitting

 

What kind of in-cell filter is that? How many microns?

 

i really dont know.. i got it from a friend that was using this fuel cell in his k20 race car..it worked fine for him so i just left it (fuel filter) in there..i had the other aeromotive fuel fitler so i wanted to use it..

 

Thanks, if you find out more info, post please

 

Here is a link for the In tank Filter: http://www.petersonfluidsys.com/filter_fuel.html



In-Tank Fuel Filter

Peterson's new in-tank fuel filter uses a stainless pleated filter for superior filtration. Attachment is made by slipping a pick up hose over the 3/4" neck and securing with a clamp. It is available in straight or 90 degree styles. This filter has been proven in competition by World of Outlaws stars Sammy Swindell and Randy Hannigan.

09-1460 Straight 60 Micron

09-1461 90 Degree 60 Micron

09-1480 Straight 45 Micron

09-1481 90 Degree 45 Micron

i can get to all the tranny bolts fairly easy so thats not to much of a problem..getting to the starter is a little difficult but i can manage..

ill try and find out more on which filter im using inside the cell and post..

 

We typically do not recommend doing that unless you support the filter somehow.

I'm not saying you'll snap the fitting for sure, but we have seen it happen. Numerous times.

3" to 4" of line between the filter & rail is all it takes to dampen engine vibration.

 

so best bet is to make some brace for it or just add some braided line between the two...


thanks for the info guys!

 

Use a steel fitting between the rail and filter. I've seen aluminum ones snap, but not seen a steel one snap...

Not saying it is a perfect fix, but should be better.

 

i use my filter connected to my rail and in 3 yrs never had a problem.

why would you need to take the tranny out of a turbo honda?

looks good btw

I would do this as well, it is cheap insurance. You may not have an issue, but steel would be a better way to support the weight.

 

small fuel filters on the rail maybe fine.. but that ones a HUGE Bitch! I'd redo that one like everyone says.

 

I'd probably run that filter before the pump, since you dont have one before the pump. Then I'd run a smaller one on the rail.

He does have a filter before the pump...check it out, it is inside his fuel cell. The other issue is you have heavy braided line that adds weight especially with it bobbing around loosely.

 

I got denied inspection at an nhra event for lines going over my tranny like that. They said it was a rule now that you cannot have your fuel lines go over the transmission because of flywheel debri.. But Ive seen people get away with it though.

 

just mount the filter in the pump ihave my for years whit that sen setup never have a problem

 

i have seen the filter break the aluminum fitttings i would re think it and re mount with a line in between

 

I wouldnt have mounted that there either, but I dont think that you would break it. But i'm sure it's possible, and the face that you can have large amounts of fuel spilling everywhere is just looking for trouble. Everything looks pretty good though.

 

thanks for the info guys....and just to let you guys know, now there was some line added between the rail and the filter, due to the way my piping was made i had to move it and my fuel pump!
