Inline filter for Alky system

[fc227]

Hello everyone,

I have a stupid question. I have made a progressive Alky injection system for my self that turns up pump speed has boost increases.

The question I have is the inline filer I'm using (between the tank & the pump) even though it is clear plastic the metal inside used to retain the filter material is rusting. What type of filter are you using?

That should say "inline filter"

I may be using the same filter. It's a universal fuel filter with stepped barbs for diff size hose. I just went out to see if there's any rust forming but since I'm running w/washer fluid, the blue dye makes it impossible to tell. At least the metal part is at the inlet side so particles will be trapped. Anyone know if w/washer fluid causes rust or will I have to do a test? fc227--What are you using and how long did it take to rust?

I have used Isopropyl, Methanol (mixed with lube, kolts I believe), and a 50/50 methanol & Water.

Currently I have the W/washer fluid in there (it's blue too). But the filter is a year & a half old. But I have not used it that much.

if that's the filter I'm thinking of.. you can get replacement filter elements for it. Just change it out on a regular basis.
Also, Carrolls Supercharging (New Jersey) sells a small filter that has a fine micron mesh screen. Looks like might be stainless. I've used this in the past... no corrosion at all.
