Fuel filter recommendation

Looking for an inline fuel filter with threaded/flared ends. I've been running an AC fuel filter for years, using rubber hose and clamps, with no leaks or problems, but I'd like to get away from using rubber hose (and go with all metal lines). Anybody got any filter part numbers that match this description?

thanks,
Mike

Wix has what you seek.

I'll check their catalog. In the mean time, if you run into a part number let me know.

I don't know the part @ but they have them w/ NPT or AN ends.

What's it for? I have a set of instructions to make your own line with a metal filter for a gen 1/2 sb with a carb.

I bought one of Summit's inline filters with -6 AN ends, seems to work fine, advertized to filter 40 microns with reuseable stainless mesh..... SUM-230100 or SUM-230104, red, -6AN or -8AN

$28.95

I installed one of these on Scotties. I think TimAT uses one too.

That's the filter I'm using. I bent 3/8 brake tube and did all AN flares except for the fuel pump connection. No rubber on the pressure side of the pump. As soon as I figure out how to run hard line from the frame to the pump that rubber is gone too.

Here is one that looks identical to that but uses the old long qjet paper filter inside. Probably 40 micron. AC Delco part # GF471

Also have one of the ones listed above with the stainless screen inside, but lost the plastic washer inside, so it's useless.

Summit sells the filter kit with screen and plastic seal for $8:

Here's my homemade set up.

AC Delco GF481. It does use O ring style fittings but you can buy 18" sections of fuel "repair lines" from your FLAPS with the proper O ring flair on one end. I have some instructions to make the line, with pics. PM me you email address and I will send it to you. It is too big a file to attach to a post.

How about braided? That's what I've done...

I've used that earls one, the small edelbrock (former russel) one, the small and large summit ones, the aeromotive ones and the huge SX ones. They all work just fine.

Another filter to consider is the fram HPG-1.
