From Fuelpumpsonline
I have ordered, and received a Sytec Bullet fuel filter 12mm in 12mm out BULLETA6-R which I plan to use as a pre-filter. These are supplied with a paper filter, so I ordered a Hi Flow metal filter BULLA02. Plus an OTP017 external pump. Going to need to juggle bits around to get enough space to fit the pre-filter. Speaking to a lady at fuelpumsonline she said that the paper filter should be free flowing and OK as a pre-filter, but I am a erring on the side of caution by going for the metal filter
Now for the obligatory problem, when I fitted the metal element in the filter housing it rattled when shaken, turns out the metal filter canister is approx 0.5mm shorter than the paper filter. A call through to fuelpumpsonline and I was given the number for Sytec, who sent me a thicker sealing washer which takes up the space.. Just waiting for some hose clips before I start reworking the layout.
Regarding fuel pressure, with the regulator vented to atmosphere my plus 8 was a psi, and a bit, short of 40
