Compact fuel filters
Has any one used any of the JEGS compact filters? They claim good up to 75psi but do not specify if EFI or low pressure carb. I'm looking to put the filter under the car (mk1 vw) next to the retrofit fuel pump but i have limited access. OEM the filter is mounted under the hood in the bay so you see my problem. I am running a 044 pump which claims 70psi max. I just don't want to run the risk of fuel spillage. any ideas? And no, its not going under the hood.

Re: Compact fuel filters
75 psi is 75 psi; the filter doesn't care what is downstream of it. I've used a metal-can type fuel filter with EFI before.

Re: Compact fuel filters
Downstream, you say after the pump, before the rail/injectors. That's where I plan on putting it, not a pre-filter.
Re: Compact fuel filters
What base fuel pressure do you run and what max manifold pressure (turbo/ supercharger?).

Re: Compact fuel filters
Could you link the filter. I've seen the compact summit units that use a disc about 1 inch in diameter get blown out like a bubble as the filter caught stuff. Just not enough surface area with that much flow. We started loosing fuel pressure up top

same filter except i will use barb ends.
engine is VW 16v running cbr1000rr itbs, 318ish injectors from a 1.8t, all NA motor with a bosch 044.
I have a filter that i may use that is for a 1.8t its just a little larger in diameter then what a want.

Re: Compact fuel filters
Yep, same filter. Clogged it up with a clean tank pretty fast, ballooned the pleating out of the filter and started loosing fuel pressure at 30psi which made us over fuel the ve table trouble shooting it
I'd run the little longer one that takes the cartridge filter
