Wease Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Well, I found out the hard way this morning that the fuel filter on my Galaxie (a glass/clear one I got from Jegs) is leaking. This filter is right off of my carb. The part where the metal fittings go over the glass is leaking all over the place. I was wondering if I could just buy any filter (as long as it fits) for that spot or is there something specific I should buy? There is another one, near the gas tank, so I could technically just replace the leaking one with another fuel line. However, I'd love to put another one on there. Any ideas on what I should buy/do?

Dweet Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 why not just replace it with the same filter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGRE Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Originally posted by Tiburon Tuner: why not just replace it with the same filter? the housing containing teh filter is leaking. teh filter is a glass casing that you unscrew on one end and replace the little element. Bro, if you want you can replace your glass filter with a new one, they sell them at advance auto, jegs ect. and are only like 8 bucks or so. you probibly already know to change the filter by the tank regularly anyway because it see's all teh crap in the fuel first. holley recommends you have a filter by teh carb, but to your question, will any filter fit? It should as long as it was made for your fuel delivery needs, one ment for a v-8 pickup should work, but one for a chevette would probibly be restrictive.

Dave1647545494 Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 you should run two filters in parallel between the tank and the pump make sure the filter is before the pump if its carbed still. anything else is a restriction.
