Fuel filter and fuel regulator

[Larry]

I believe one proIblem I had last year was fuel delivery. Fuel correction varied.I had the Wide Band checked by FAST - ok there.. . Im using a canister type fuel filter by Fram ( gave to me by friend who races non-turbo Car - see photo) and adjustable stk style regulator (see photo) . Volumn and pressure from the Weldon 2015 may be to much for the components Im using? What can you recomend to use as a filter and regulator in these locations.. I realize I would need to modify the stk fuel rail - I can handle that. But- I would like to keep the regulator and filter in the same locations. I am changing the return line over from the stk "feed" line to a #6 braided and buying a new battery. Possibly the voltage to the pump was not consistant..I did record the voltage - indicated 14.2 , straght line. However- is it possible the FAST was reading the Voltage from the Alternator and the actual voltage from the battery ( feeding the fuel pump ) was something else? Thanks - Larry

I just got a nice billet filter(s) from Cal that I used as a pre-filter (40 micron) and you will want a 10 micron after the pump. I would call Cal, he has some excellent prices on billet fuel filters, looks like you need -8AN size.


Are you sure that the tuneup was not the result of the A/F fluctuating? Your stock regulator and return(old feed) line is sufficent.

Is that filter before or after the pump?
That filter is not designed for high pressure,But also
i would check the tune, the ve tables may need to be played with
Has the car been tuned yet?

Isn't that filter for a carb set up?

Yeah - its after the pump and its probably not the correct application. Had a lot of changes on the car and indications are - I did not research this enough. I will make some changes with fuel dilivery sys.. Thanks for the thoughts..Larry

Yes- My buddy who races small blocks gave it to me as we were ending revamping alot of stuff on the car - Im finding out, I should have put more thought into it.. Its coming out and the proper ones put in..Thanks Larry
