Re: Fuel filter element

I use one fuel filter before the fuel pump, in the hose that connects the fuel pump to the steel line. I've never had a problem with my fuel system to date, other than the siphon tube in the tank breaking off, so I had to put a fitting where the drain plug was, and get my fuel from there. Even from sucking on the bottom of the tank, where all the sediment is, I still don't get anything up at the carb. Nice thing about Edelbrock carbs is, there's a small brass screen behind the fuel inlet fitting that you can remove and check for debris, none yet.

Also, no matter what anyone tells you, NEVER use one of those plastic or glass cheapie modern fuel filters on a car!!! It's a fire waiting to happen! I speak from experience on this one!!
