F250 guy 107 Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) I was at Lowe's today and I'm looking at fuel filters for after the carb rebuild. What would be a good choice and not melt? Also what micron rating is the stock screen? 1st is 150 micron. 2nd 40 micron I want to do the 40 micron but concerned about melting. I seen metal reusable filters I think hyper parts if I have that right has em. https://www.hyperparts.com/products/iteminquiry/601-6911 https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-4-Chrome-Kleer-Glass-FF416-Servicable-Washable-In-Line-Fuel-Filter-/182148528939 Edited January 22, 2020 by F250 guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBRider 1,411 Posted January 23, 2020 I thought that there was a filter on the fuel petcock for the 300's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toodeep 1,760 Posted January 23, 2020 There is a screen inside the tank but it won't catch any if the fine particles. I've seen both of those filters used on them without any issues. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheeler 2,530 Posted January 23, 2020 I thought u were re coating the inside of ur tank? If ur tank is clean no need for a fuel filter if u ask me. However if ur tank is rusted or for peace of mind, nothing wrong adding one then. I pull my Petcock off & make sure it’s all clean every once in a while. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am, just want a better filter than plastic if there is one, and a 2nd line of defense against carb clogging dirt. Mine won't come off I tried and rounded the nut on the bowl. Since then I figured leave alone. Edited January 23, 2020 by F250 guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
F250 guy 107 Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) I found this and I'm very impressed. I looked Golan up and they make great stuff. https://golanproducts.com/product/super-mini-fuel-filter-1-4-barb-fitting-2/ Edited January 23, 2020 by retro cleanse link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,147 Posted January 23, 2020 I been using the Briggs and Straton fuel filter , not really a filter for say , it is just a screen in clear plastic ( so you can see if anything is in there and that the fuel is clear /clean ) , more of a chunk catcher then a element filter ---- seems you might be anti-plastic , your not plasti-forbic now are you ? , LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,147 Posted January 23, 2020 $61.00 for a fuel filter is a bit pricey for me ----- here is a $5.00 - 75 micron filter Ebay : https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-PCS-1-4-Clear-Inline-Fuel-Gas-Filter-394358-for-Briggs-Stratton-75-Micron/322966529509?_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131003132420%26meid%3Dc0b57522cfd441b293889a199e0afa17%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dpf%26sd%3D112718920019%26itm%3D322966529509%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's only so much space on the far side of the petcock from the head. I ran mine in the middle close to the petcock, easiest place to service. That's why I want the metal one. If your wondering # 70-250G Machined from 6061 T-6 billet aluminum Filter element is made from pleated 304 stainless steel; filtering down to 10 microns and still flowing 6 gallons a minute for Mini filter body measures 1-3/4in. long; super-for Mini body measures 7/8in. long (fewer fittings) Replacement filter element available Made in the U.S.A. If your curious, if the Made in USA is real their facility is in CA. Edited January 23, 2020 by F250 guy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
