The fuel pressure regulator is good, that filter is not, its glass centre and screw together sections are a disaster waiting to happen,
You guys have 99's right, the fuel tank outlet has a strainer in it so the pump is safe from foreign objects, but you need a filter post pump, , i like the short gm filters , there steel housing is very tough, may need some insulation against heat, bit of wetsuit material will do , same with the pump , put it in a stubby holder

Hey Maj,

That will do the job nicely

[Maj]

Yeah that looks like the small one , repco etc has them fairly cheap

[tassiebusa]

Well they are cheap thats for sure.... maybe fake?

Good news on the filters, so really any inline steel filters are ok. and one before the pump (a small one that screws onto the pump should do)

Probably , i have brought some from $250 and others down to $70 , all looked the same and worked the same

EFI filters like the gm steel filters are good, built for the pressure .
if you have a 99-00 you don't need a pre pump filter

Hey Maj, tell me more regarding fake vs genuine?

[Maj]

Hard to tell, probably all made in the same factory in China
Last 2 i brought only several weeks ago were advertised as above but ended up very different to pictured... i sent them back .. after finding a product that works well and is very compact i'm not in a hurry to experiment with others...

Hi Maj,

I am just about ready to order the vl fuel pump filter and FPR I know it goes tank fuel pump filter fpr fuel rail but where does the return fuel line back to the tank connect?

Thanks

Jim

Tank, pump, filter, rail, regulator, tank........ pressure is between the pump and regulator , after that its just dumping excess fuel back in the tank .
