Can I remove the fuel filter from the engine and connect a remote filter to the fuel lines instead.

Thank You.

 

No reason you couldn't do that. You will lose the fuel heater by doing that but that may not be an issue for your application.

 

From what I have recently been reading, I was somewhat surprised at the "open-ness" of our stock fuel-filter; it's more like a "primary" than a "secondary" as far as microns go.


I suggest you keep the stock filter in it's current location and add a second finer filter between it and the injector-pump.



Can someone point us in the direction of a good micron-rating comparison of suitable filters for our use ??


Thanks.

 

I have 3 filters on My truck right now. One in the tank, one in-line after the pump with a water block filter and one on the engine also with a water block filter. The one on the cummins doesn't have My sensors and I don't really like it where it is so if it wont bother the engine off it goes, I have a heat exchanger before the filter anyway so the one on the cummins is not really needed.

Thank You.
