fuel filter

[hookem137]

does anyone run a inline fuel filter or is it a bad idea? I went to ironpony today and picked three of them for all my blastys. Do they restrict the fuel flow at all?

probsnot a bad thing as long as they dont leak and gas flows nicly through them. i was thinking about running one.

They can restrict fuel flow...it all depends on the micron rating of the filter. I don't and wouldn't run one; they're not needed on a Blaster. The screen built into the fuel petcock (inside the tank) does all the fuel filtering a Blaster carburetor will need.

Just pull the petcock and check the screens once a season and you'll be fine. I'd save the inline fuel filters you got for the lawnmower, tiller, etc sitting in the shed. They don't have fuel strainers in the tank and will benefit from the addition of an inline filter.

ohhh dident know there were screens in the petcock.

I run an inline and have never had a problem, i change them out every once in a while. I had problems with the in tank ones.

Use outlaw racing fuel filters that have the 40-70 micron rating
