In-line Fuel Filter?

pos · Jan 16, 2011

Hello,

Does any body think that it would be detramental to the power / running of my 200tdi 90 to install an inline fuel filter before my lift pump? Reason being, I am still getting large lumps of debris from the tank through my lift pump and into my main fuel filter and I don't want this damaging the lift pump in any way. I do have a steel gauze braised onto the end of the pick up pipe, but it finds its way through that too. I can also use a clear filter like the one below to diagnose fuel problems should there be any in the future:

Cheers

Yes,but why not take your tank off and give it a proper swill out with the fuel sender removed?[not hard to do on a landy]

Because it's had it once and the bastid filler neck rotted through. It's not coming off again, definitely not until Summer so I will fit an inline fuel filter up until then. A clear inline fuel filter should allow me to see just how much crap is being drawn up from the tank.

Seen inline filters on ebay which are chrome and the ends screw off so you can clean them, looked quite good TBH.

Make sure you keep a spare onboard cos they do like to block up.
