Fuel filter and fuel starvation

phunk · 06-13-2016, 01:20 PM

Dan, as I mentioned in my previous post, the fuel filter is the white plastic housing that the fuel pump resides in. There would be no purpose to you adding an inline or auxiliary fuel filter after the fuel pump, because there is already one there.

The yellow/orange piece that attaches to the bottom side of the fuel pump, is the fuel pump pickup. It is not the fuel filter. This is standard procedure for all production vehicles. The fuel pump pickup is a mesh to prevent large debris from jamming the pump, and the filter is always placed after the fuel pump. In the case of the Z, the filter itself is molded into the fuel pump housing.

The component you are describing that you are you contemplating eliminating is the fuel pump pickup. While this is not sold individually, a typical fuel pump pickup for a Walbro style pump will attach just the same.

Thanks for clarifying that, wasn't sure on the exact name.

danb, there is only 4 fixes for fuel starve.

1. Not to track the car.
2. phunk's RRP kit. Which I run, and recommend. A lot of us are running this kit with great results.

3. The Z1 kit. I don't know much about. There is a couple of threads here on it's merit.
4. Cut your tank in have and run at half capacity as someone here has done.
