About 500 miles ago I instaled new mech. fuel pump, fuel filter, blew out fuel lines and installed new gas tank & sending unit but removed the sock strainer. Recently the fuel filter with 500 miles clogged and I replaced it. I want to place a fuel filter in between the tank and fuel pump. Which fuel filter type should I use, either the bronze element type or a plastic mesh filter in a small metal canister (part FF1203 used on some cycles).
I read previous posts against fuel filters in between tank & pump because the pump pushes not pulls the fuel thru the lines to the carb. I've read some posts advising to use a coarse (bronze) elemnet or a filter with a strainer similar to the small one I found for cycles/dirt bikes in the which I cut the filter in half and found a plastic mesh filter. The diameter of that filter is like a person's index finger. Any thoughts fellas?
