5 /16 Fuel Filter Source

[Mark Gregory]

Could someone tell me where there is a source for a fuel filter for a 5/16 fuel line .

 

My concern is if I use a smaller line filter . The fuel pump might not be able to pull the fuel to my 1931 Reo Royale 8 cylinder motor.

 

As it was designed with the 5 /16 line .

That is a standard size used on most American cars for many years. In the 60s, 70s and 80s it was found on practically all cars. A few super high performance models had 3/8".

I would shy away from that see thru filter, pretty but dangerous.

Fram G2 (see thru plastic), Wix 33032 (NAPA carries Wix under their own name and number).  If you want a large-capacity 5/16 metal-case filter (especially good for use with gas tanks which have not been removed and cleaned recently), use a larger diameter Fram G3802A--available everywhere, used on many Ford EFI applications.  I use a G3802A on vacuum tank-equipped cars, so there's no apparent restriction problem.

 

I write the date replaced on the filter can with Sharpie.  If the filter is anywhere near the exhaust, I wrap it with heat resistant material.  Since you're using an electric pump, I suggest mounting the filter near the gas tank BEFORE the electric pump.  Often there a lateral wood body frame member in front of the tank to which a bracket can be screwed.  Plumber's tape is not elegant but works.  Place the filter where you can get to it easily on the road to change--and always carry a spare in the vehicle.
