PROFORM 2-STAGE IN-LINE FUEL FILTER

[Johnnys440Charger]

Is it safe to use this Proform Fuel filter alone or in conjunction with another filter?

Should fuel filters be installed before the carb or fuel pump?  Any difference?

Many people install them between the fuel pump and the carb. If you plan to spend even one day at the drag track then you will have to take it back off. To my knowledge,IHRA and NHRA will not allow more than 1 ft of rubber hose, and will not allow glass fuel filters. I hope that one in the picture is palstic.

do yourself a favor and buy a good metal filter.    you can get nice billet ones faily cheap.

I also think that filter wouldn't flow the same amount of fuel as a larger better built one. I use a 1/2 inch fuel line. Filters like that are just for looks on stock engines. Just two more cents....lol

deputycrawford, its the glass type filter that I have.  I do plan on going to the race track a least once a summer.

Yeah, it does look pretty, but I rather a fuel filter save my carb fuel bowls from getting gunked up with crap.

I'm thinking about the Plastic Fram Fuel Filter like JimShine has.  At least you can see when the filter get dirty.

A metal type is also good as Runner suggested.

having a see through fuel filter is over rated.   the fire hazzard of a cheap plastic(or glass) fuel filter is the reason for using metal.  imo there is no place for plastic or glass parts in the fuel system. that includes those cheesy plastic sight plugs that people sell for holleys.
