I have opened up my coarse filter 6 times in 10
years. First time had some small fragments of sealant used to close the
tank. The next 5 times nothing. Of course, a lot will depend on type
of tank and quality of fuel going into the tanks.
I replace the EFI filters at each conditional inspection,
cut the old ones open and have never found anything in them either. But, I
do use 100LL aircraft quality gasoline - almost exclusively..

Thanks Ed,
How often do you have to clean the
filter?
Wendell
I have a fine wire mesh filter in an aluminum housing
with An-6 fittings on each end just before the fuel enters my header
tank.. You can unscrew one end to clean the mesh. However, been
too long ago and I find I never logged the part number on my fuel data
sheet.
But, here are the specific part numbers I use for the
EFI filters
Fuel Filters: OEM Auto Fuel Injector Fuel Filters (Two in
Parallel)
Type: AC GF - 481 Pkg: 25056052 OEM:25055129 (or equivalent)
Fittings: 3/8 Saginaw to AN6 Adapter, "O" ring required

Thanks Rob and Ed for the replys on the MSD
fuel pumps.
Now; what kind of filter do you have
ahead of the pump? I'm thinking of using some fine mesh screen to
make a filter inside the sump tank. It will be hard to service but
believe that one will prolong pump life and possibly. stop a particle
that could interupt fuel flow. What size mesh is
recommended?

I have been using the MSD 2225 for about 20
hour with no problem so far. Plenty of fuel pressure. Only problem is
that it is not threaded so I had to use the barbed nipples that come
with the pump. How bad can that be?
