Default Re: Fuel Filter

I suggest that you not get too excited about how well your filter works until you've got a couple hundred miles on it and until you've driven the car on a hot day. Those things are very seductive--they look so slick. IMO, they work best for folks whose systems are so clean that they don't need one anyhow. Vapor block is another issue--I could watch the clear plastic in-line model fill up with vapor and shut the engine down.

Here's a photo of all the models I've tried, and removed, over the years. The best for me was the red fiberglass CG3, but the new models are not made with fiberglass any more.
