Review on Universal Inline Fuel Filter Replacement, High Flow 50mm Diameter with Cleanable Stainless Steel Mesh Screen - AN6 AN8 AN10 Bolts, Anodized Black and Red, 100 Micron by Sam Davenport

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It works, but there are significant downsides.

Good item, lots of fittings but not a very good product. The chamfer of the ORB fitting does not fit the full o-ring of AN fittings, meaning you cannot properly tighten the fittings on the filter and only have to rely on the friction of the o-ring. The correct torque will destroy the O-rings. This makes tightening the hose ends a two-wrench operation. Bullet fittings were metric?!? Why? At the level on the red end of the filter, take a 30mm wrench. Had to buy a cheap one here and then sand down finer to be able to buy a bullet with a second key or socket. I did this by chamfering the inlet and outlet holes, but it was a pain and required a huge countersink. In general, I now regret not buying a more famous filter for 100.00.

Pros
  • Spare parts
Cons
  • Big and bulky
