OJdidit1738 Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 I have a 93 mustang with a holley fuel pump and a fram fuel filter, I am going to move them behind the tank but I was told if I have the fuel filter hanging below the back bumper and a cop sees it I can get a ticket for it beacuase its a safety hazard or something. Just wondering if anyone knows the actual laws on this or even heard of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 well, it would be pretty fucking stupid to have it hanging that low for one thing. but hey, without people like you the darwin awards wouldn't exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Many of my friends have had fuel filters which you could see below the rear of their cars for years, and none of them have ever been pulled over because of it. Kind of depends on whether you'er talking about cruising 270 all night, or hanging out in the sticks somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desperado Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 I can't speak to teh legality of it. But you need to consider the fact that when you blow by the rice boys and they get over behind you don't let off. If you do chances are when they run up under you, you are going to give the nose of their car a gasoline bath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJdidit1738 Posted June 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Thanks, the only thing that should be able to be seen is the sump and the 2 1/2 braided lines then everything else should be able to fit under the bumper and be hidden, I just thought the guy was lying to me about getting pulled over and getting a ticket for it being to low in his a chevelle.
