Fuel Filter Brackets - 3 hours (218 Total)

I spent a lot of time researching the correct fuel filter to use. I came up with the 33001 filter from Wix. These filters are sold by Carquest under the 86001 part number. They are rated at 12 microns.

The HKS manual states to use a 15 micron or less, mesh type filter. Unfortunately, most filters and their suppliers don't state the filter's micron rating.

I spent several hours creating mounting brackets that would hold the fuel filters. I use some 3/4" x 1/2" aluminum angle which I drilled a 5/8 inch hole in. The hole accommodates a rubber grommet that holds the filter nicely.
