We see it, nice truck btw. Don't pay any attention to him. He's just being a giant dick as usual. ,)

 

Is it possible to put an inline filter somewhere along the fuel line?

 

Sure. Actually fairly easy. Just pick up one of the gm stye fuel filters, and a couple flare nuts. (get the filter that the lines screw into on both sides. they also offer filters that have a schrader valve on em, so if you don't have one on the fuel rail, quick and easy test port.) Beg borrow or rent a flaring tool. Cut out a section of fuel line, slip the nuts over the ends, flare the lines, screw in the filter. (this assumes a metal fuel line...... won't work on plastic.)

 

You'd be better off changing out the fuel pressure regulator than installing an in-line filter. It's cheap, easy, and will provide the most benefit.

 

Thanks haha, your's looks pretty nice too. Wish i could have gotten a cummins, but working at a grocery store i cant quite afford that haha

 

an inline filter will be a waste as the regulator and condom on the fuel pump will clog before there is any dirt in the aftermarket filter.

 

A buddy of mine has a 2006 ford expedition, and he changed his out the other day and when he dumped it out, it was brown. Like muddy water. Or muddy gas. Just made me wonder if the extra precaution would be helpful

 

if you put one in before the regulator, you'd be golden. You'd have to drop the tank every time it needed replaced.

Best practice is to use a gas station that has a high volume of customers and to never fill up when the tanker truck is filling the tank. When the truck fills the tank, it stirs up the sediment, and high volume stations usually don't collect as much water in their tanks.

 

Well lemme guess your grandpa told you not to fill up when a tanker is filling the tanks? The stations get several loads of gas a day, with the size of those tanks there never going to settle inbetween loads. Plus, there isnt just a pump pumping gas to the nozzle your filling up with, theres several filters that the gas passes through, so if your getting anything in your gas its microscopic and not going to do anything to your engine.

 

Long ago and far away, when I worked at a gas station...... we would only see one or two tanker trucks in a week. We were open 24/7, and did a pretty good volume of business..... (this was back when gas was under a buck a gallon.....)

We also never serviced any filters..... there is a common pump for a single grade of gas, and then pipes to the various pumps. To my knowledge, there weren't any filters at all.......
