Filtering fuel before it hits your tank.

Being an aircraft mechanic, I have to be (and like) being fanatical about damage from FOD (Foreign Object Damage/Debris). Until recently, I’ve used a funnel with a filter built in…kind of a pain in the ass. Stumbled across this on Ebay and got two of them.

Filtered down to 100 microns before it even his the tank! These things will pay for themselves due to saving wear on pumps/filters. Could also help prevent fuel pump failures (which could turn into engine failures)

They are available on Ebay.

Cool story over.

i used to filter out my diesel 275 gallons at a time. I still changed my in line every 10-15k…and my cp3 pump still blew up at 140k miles.

i like. when i swapped out my stock fuel pump for the walbro i found a bunch of shit sitting at the bottom of the pump housing and didnt like that. what would be a good option for someone who doesnt fill up with gas cans (for example the pump)?

Best option for that is getting a funnel with a filter in it, and fill from the pump thru the funnel

Yeah honestly, organic corn ftw. I wouldn’t trust the regular shit.
