Inline filter for quadrajet - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I want to add an inline filter to the hard fuel line that is going to my quadrajet.
I dont want to cut the hard line if I dont have to and I thought there was a kit for this.

Thanks in advance!

The best place for an inline filter is at the inlet of the fuel pump.. That line runs at near zero pressure.. If it should develop a leak, it will not spray fuel all over and start a fire..

I'm also considering a filter ahead of the fuel pump. I have a metal inline filter now because some ham-handed mechanic stripped the fitting that holds the factory filter and it's J-B welded on. Then I'd make a solid line from the pump to the carb, with a warning stating no user-serviceable parts are inside.

I do my own work on this truck, but someday I won't be around to do it.

There should be a filter inside the Q-jet under the 1'' nut where the fuel line threads into. The easiest place for an inline is under the cab where the fuel line goes to the frame rail. Easy splice with the rubber hose. USE A METAL FILTER

^ YES. Use one of those giant racing filters. Buy once, cry one.

Hmmm.............. looking around sheepishly after "repairing" the monojet inlet threads with JB Weld on my 71 C10.

In all fairness it wasn't I who stripped the threads. Wasn't until after the bad deed was done that I learned of the several repair options. Going on 11 years with the JB. Will be good loooooong after I'm gone.
