Fuel Filter with Stock Fuel Lines?
Is it possible/recommended/ok to run a (aftermarket) fuel filter with the stock fuel lines? If so, how would you suggest (what product, where,etc.)?
If not, what do I need to do? Stainless lines with aftermarket fuel rail? Really would like not to have to spend all the money doing that...
Just trying to figure out what my options are. I'm running E85 and have already had my injectors clog once and just would rather be able to replace a filter than have to send the injectors off to be cleaned.
Anyways, let me know what my options are please. Wasn't able to find much info on this with search.
Thanks.

u could replace everything, stainless line with AN fittings to a new fuel rail, or u could have a AN fitting welded on the stock fuel rail, it would be tough get an inline fuel filter to work with the stock lines, i dont think it would work

Here's a fitting we made to make it possible to use the oem line. This adapter goes onto the hard line right at the bottom of the engine bay.

I understand now. Thanks.
One more question though, what fuel filter would you recommend? Seems like there are a lot out there. Just not sure which ones are E85 safe and the difference between the filter materials, the neccesary/recommended micron filtration level, etc.

We run stainless 40 micron filters, we have our own brand or fuelab.
