Fuel filters for high-performance or all-out racing have a greater duty than many consider. We\u2019ve seen scores of racers using a strainer-style filter within a funnel at the track and calling that \u201cgood enough.\u201d Today\u2019s fuel pumps, electronic injectors, carburetors, sensors, and more continue to tighten their tolerances to achieve a better fuel feed to meet higher horsepower demands, and fuel filters need to step up their game to protect these components.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Flow Criteria for Filters<\/strong><\/p>\n

The overall flow of a fuel system is only as good as the combination of components and how they either feed or circulate your fuel supply. We outfitted the Project Rover Camaro with a pair of\u00a0<\/span>Fuelab<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>in-line filters for our E85-fueled, electronic fuel injection system. Brian Paitz, President at Fuelab, provided some insight into the proper filtration of a racing or extreme performance fuel system.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe one thing that I can\u2019t stress enough when you\u2019re setting up a fuel system is that you look at it as an entire system,\u201d Paitz begins. \u201cIt goes beyond just a pump, it goes beyond the regulator \u2014 it also has a lot to do with your filters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Filter Sizing and Location<\/strong><\/p>\n

The success of feeding your engine for its peak fuel demands will depend greatly on two critical locations in your filtration: filtering the fuel before and after the fuel pump is the most effective layout. \u00a0These two filtering points ensure your fuel system is optimized for flow \u2014 yet protected.<\/p>\n
