Contemplating adding another fuel filter to a Longbow just after the fuel tank so some questions
1, The main contenders seem to be Racor or Delphi/ Lucas, I think Racor are better but their range is enormous, and hard to select from at my level of understanding, ease of draining/ changing elements would be key. Anyone got a recommendation?
2 I think you can get a Racor where you can drain or change the paper element without having to bleed the lines, is this better than spin on and how do you refer to it?
3, Are these things handed or can the flow go either way, (bulkhead with fuel line going across it from right to left in this case)
4 Is 10 micron right for the primary filter element where there is another after plus the one on the engine?
5 The fuel line it is going to be inserted into is 5/16" OD copper (8mm) what sort of adapters might be needed?
6, To fit a tall assembly the fuel line will have to be raised, just after the tank exit cock, any issues?
Asap Supplies sell both makes, any others worth talking to, we want to be able to buy a package that can be inserted in to the line with the minimum number of joints?
