if its an injected engine make sure you replace it with a steel filter .not a el cheapo plastic one

if you mean me no its not my rules its the rules you agree to everytime we all post. And no i dont care.

Fine until the platic splits under the very high pressure of the fuel injection pump and sprays fuel all over your hot engine and then your car explodes into a fire ball like in an American movie car! Use steel, plastic are for low pressure carby fuel pumps and gravity feed.

Plastic filters = carburetted engines = 3 psi fuel pressure
Steel filters = EFi engines = 35 (+/-)psi fuel pressure
Think about it.

Sadly these days it necessarily or you get a warning from TM after some sad screen licker complains.
shaun16, Aug 28, 8:15pm
ok i get the point, but that one in the auction above looks like its made of plastic. and when i bought the filter they asked what it was for and never said i shouldnt use a plastic one
philltauranga, Aug 28, 8:22pm
Its steel
philltauranga, Aug 28, 8:26pm
Yea they do they are desighned for it, but not those cheap aftermarketfilters made of crap plastic, Japanese trucks use plastic hose for their brake lines which is way higher pressure (100 plus) than 35psi but its desighned for the job, you wouldnt use a plastic garden hose would you.
mugenb20b, Aug 28, 8:31pm
Yes, I know that. A lot of late Jap cars have them too, but the plastic filter is not made of the same plastic that these fuel lines are made of. A plastic filter may handle high pressure but the filter MEDIA (element) may not and send the paper shrapnel down the injector rail.

Carmedic my name gets shortned often so who do u mean.
carmedic, Aug 28, 8:59pm
Right just to be clear, I??
philltauranga, Aug 28, 9:08pm
Ok just so me and bjmh are clear we ARE talking about the cheap plastic ones that are NOT desighned for efi. and providing that information to some one who dosent know better (a moron as you say) IS useful advice.

Arent we funny
fordoverholden, Aug 29, 12:54am
O.K O.K guys. I brought the same one at repco for $21. And yes i think we all know now that she cant handle the pressure of a plastic one. Learn some think new every day. Lol after all that it looks like the air flow meter is packing up. Thanks to all comments
