Picture of finned aluminum fuel filter.
I found this K & N aluminum billet fuel filter on Ebay and surprising it was made in the USA. Never have seen these before and wondering if anyone has used them or is there any issues. It unscrews for cleaning the inside stainless steel filter. I know it is not the best to use a filter after fuel pump but I have had too many issues with debris in the Uncle Max English 97, also I know clamps are not the most attractive but do not like the spring ones especially on the straight 1/4 inch tubing. A few sellers have these but one in particular sells the cheapest,this was $19.99 buy it now, free shipping from California ,with a bracket that I did not use. This was 1/4 " barbs,some have AN hose ends.

Re: Picture of finned aluminum fuel filter.
Good looking filter housing, I like it. In my experience, it is better to push fuel through a filter than trying to pull it. Mounted before the pump requires having to draw the fuel through the filter media and risking lowering the pressure, increasing the risk of vaporizing the fuel and and creating a vapor lock.

Not sure where K&N filters are made, but these (Dickster27 here and on the HAMB) I believe are made in the USA. Just sayin'.

Re: Picture of finned aluminum fuel filter.
There might be a problem with ethanol fuel and its effect on aluminum though. Keep an eye out for problems.
