| Subject: | Fuel Filters in the wing roots or under seats? |
I'm starting to lay out my fuel system, and I need to decide where I'm
going to place my fuel filter(s).
So far, my fuel system consists of an EFII boost pump and a Andair valve.
The EFII pump came with two fuel filters (one to install and a spare), but
I'm thinking that it might be nice to run two fuel filters. First, it gives
me redundancy, and second, it should be easier to change them out if they
aren't buried in the tunnel.
The con would be that I would need to drain the tank/tanks before changing
the filter as there wouldn't be a valve in between the filter and tank. But
even this might be a good thing as it would probably be a good idea to
remove the tank drains to fully check for contaminants from time to time.
Does anyone have any thoughts about this?
How about pictures of where people have mounted their filters?
Ed

I installed two filters in my -10. One in each wing root. None in the tun
nel. Checking and Cleaning the filter had been very easy via the wing root
access. I used the Andair gas collator style filter and since the fuel ha
s to go up a bit after leaving the tank pick up I have not had to drain the t
anks for inspection, just run them down to about 10 gallons a side. I would
this this again no question.
I'll see if I can find some pics on my picsa web album.
