Guest hwess Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Where do you put the fuel filter when you have a vacumn tank, between the fuel tank and the vacumn tank or between the vacumn tank and the carburator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickBrinker Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I have one between the Vacuum tank and the Carb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1930 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I am not sure why it would matter but its easier to hide a non original fuel filter between the fuel tank and vacuum tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC5 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 And it would be preferable to filter out any crud before it can get to the vacuum tank needle valve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbbob Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I mounted an inline filter horizontally, just ahead of the rear axle. Doesn´t seem to affect the operation of the vacuum tank. Works fine. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hwellens Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 If you put it between the vacuum tank and fuel tank you are just making another place for a vacuum leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1930 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Filtering out crud before it makes its way to the vacuum tank only makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hwess Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Thanks for the replies. Its going between the fuel tank and the vacumn tank.Now back to the ethenol in the gas, I've heard Marine Stabil is the stuff to use to prevent problems with fuel pumps and hoses. What you think? Other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMF Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) I just started using the Sta-bil ethanol treatment --- I guess the jury is still out on this one. Check out the post on ethanol treatment on page 2 of this forum. Edited August 21, 2011 by FMF (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozrocks Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I'm not a fan of petrol treatments. You'll be a lot better off if you work out what parts the ethanol is going to affect and change them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
