    Fuel Filter Question.......

    I will be changing out my fuel filter this week. A question just hit me. With the new technology dedicated to gasoline formulas, do we still need fuel fiters in e30s? I can understand why back when the car was first developed, but what about now

    Do race cars use gas filters?

    Anybody running their cars without fuel firters?

    Pros??? Cons????

    Thanks.................................. G .

    Keep it. Our old cars need them in case of gunk/sediment in your 20+ year old tank

      IT's not the fuel. It's your tank and lines.

        ??????????? Doesnt the fuel pump have a built in filter. Not that I dont trust your advice. Just another question that popped in my head.

        Thanks for the followup.

        All the best.......................................G.

          What will you gain from NOT having a filter?

          That fuel that is so clean is still transferred numerous times from tanks to fuel trucks back to tanks. Contaminants are still possible and do remain.
