| Subject: | in-line fuel filters - can you recommend any? |
After my issues with my feeder tank becoming blocked with silicone gasket
material, I have cleaned the tanks and header tank.
Now I'd like to install an in-line filter between each wing-tank and the
header tank. (I already have a gascolator between the header tank and the
fuel pump, so the purpose of the in-line filters is really just to stop any
goo getting to the header tank and blocking the fuel supply line to the
engine).
Are there any in-line filters that are NOT recommended? I've heard that
plastic in-line filters are not advisable. Metal sounds safe, but is not
easily inspectable. Glass doesn't sound so safe. What are folks using?
ACS has a couple of different options but none (except the most expensive
one "Micron 10") come with fuel flow and pressure drop specs.

This <http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-230102/overview/>is similar
to what I use, except it's between the header and engine. It's huge and
I don't think it could ever reasonably clog. I don't filter into the
header tank if you except the finger filters

in the tank outlets to keep out the big chunks.

Purolator Proline glass filter with plastic screen filter. You can get them
at most any auto store. I install them in line and once screwed together I
safety wire across it to keep from spinning apart. I never used any filter
with a paper type filter or ones I cant see through to inspect. Here is a
picture of the filter.

I have used these on three differ airplanes and never had a problem with
them. Easy to inspect and easy to change filters in.
