Are you running fragola fuel line?

No, Starlite from S&H they sent me with my Fore kit.

Once off, those filter socks are easy to clean....... when using 93 octane gas..and just normal crap floating around the bottom of the tank.

I got around to changing my fuel filter last night. This thread came to mind so I thought I'd drop in a pic of the new and old filter. This is my Fore F-10 cellulose filter on the right after two years of running E85. Not bad at all IMO.

Looks about like mine im running the same cellulose filter in e85. Im at a year and ahalf 6k miles and have a 4-5psi drop through the filter(was 1-1.5psi drop when it was new) If the drop goes any higher im putting in the ss filter i have sitting here. Fyi a 5psi pressure drop equates to 10-20lph loss in flow depending on boost level and base pressure.

What is the best way/chemical to clean that stainless filter? I may upgrade to that at the end of the year when winter hits again.

I used brake clean on mine

I have seen acetone, keresone, mineral spirits. Best way is in an ultrasonic sink with detergent like you clean injectors.

Hahahahahahaaa!!!

It's a fine line.

In my mind a SS fuel filter is a piece of jewelry

Did you just use regular hose clamps on the PTFE lines on the fuel hat?
