We have established the size of the fitting on the top of the fuel filter (-6AN to 12mmx1.25 pitch Earl's part number 991945), how about the bottom?

Dustin

 

one thing you can do is take off the fuel filter and go try out some bolts at the hardware store or some fittings at a local race shop....

one thing for sure is that it's a metric fine pitch...Most import brake line fittings are 10mm x 1.00 pitch, you can try that...

Well it is larger in diameter and wider thread than the top fitting on the filter...

 

y do u need the bottom one?

 

<--------was thinking the same thing...

If your running Braided line from the tank...then use an Aftermarket Fuel Filter with -AN Fittings.

Suprdave

 

exactly... or even if u are running fitting of s0ome sort then... run an aftermarket filter and lines

 

The aftermarket filters are expensive and do not have a cool mount like the stock one.

But... hmm... where are some good aftermarket filters? I saw the AEM one but I'm kinda trying to keep my car AEM free...

 

get a paxton or aeromotive... those will add some points for ur "coolnes factor" fo sho b!

or u can get the sx filter which has a "cool" billet mount they make with it

u still need to add up more of those "coolness points"

 

Earl's P/N: 985006 (9/16th x 18) for bottom

LOL i just noticed

also FWIW K&N has a nice aftermarket fuel filter with a nice mount i have one for sale but maybe u got one after 2 years..

 

It is actually an M14 x 1.5mm, although the -6AN (9/16-18) shares the smae threads as the M14 x 1.5 up until about the last few threads of the threaded ends..

stan

 

12mm x 1.25 is the same as a 5/16 NPT.

 

No, they're not the same. NPT are tapered, while all Metric are parallel. The diamater may be almost the same, but the threads definitely NOT..

stan

 

great info

 

Glad I finally got an answer to my question, now that it's 2.5 years later.

Hehe.
