Inline fuel filters pro's or con

Does an inline fuel filter between the fuel pump and BV restrict the fuel flow? I have had my fuel system flowed by Spike Gorr and I would like to put a inline filter on it. Would it restrict it enough to where I should it reflowed or can I just put a smaller pill in the BV? My setup is a BBC on methanol using a PSI 206c and a Kieth Black block (KB500) 580 ci

Thanks Mike I do use one of these but I did not think it was enough protection.Thanks

 

I use a System 1 medium size 75 micron filter, just had my system flowed with the filter. Spud at FIE said there was no restriction whatsoever.

 

Same here. The System One filter works very well and a lot of people use them.

 

And you don't have to check it every run.

 

Mike, do you know what micron they are?

Never mind, I just read that they are 250 micron.......

 

we have an XRP inline filter on the A/Fuel car, and flowing an easy 30 gpm, so no, no restriction.
-12 in, -12 out, the unit is about 5" long & 1.2" OD.

 

LOL, I hope not!

 

XRP Mini filter about 5" long you can get any Micron filter # you need. works great for me. easy to check and clean.

 

Nope none that small. The smallest is .048 in the hat on a screw blower

 

Good point Mike. My filter does get neglected.
