Hi everyone,
I am hoping for some input and opinions on my fuel system. Planning on an 0360 a1a, with a carburetor. My question is about filtering. Vans says to put a filter before boost pump, good idea to prevent clogging the aux pump and I plan on doing that. I want to keep my fuel system as simple and reliable as possible. So, if I put a good filter there do I still need to put a gascolator on the firewall? My thinking is that there is only a pump in between the two. I understand the need for a place to tap for fuel press transducer, a fitting maybe at the firewall. My friend has a gascolator on his 8 and I noticed he can't sump it unless the aux pump is on, it is higher than tanks. I am open to any ideas and recommendations. As for the filter before the aux pump( best type, name brands etc). Oh and if it makes any difference, I am planning on a red cube after the engine pump and before the carb. Thanks to all in advance.
