Finally, a place where bigger really is better. What
defines an efficient filter? As little pressure drop as
possible. How do you achieve a low pressure drop?
Surface area. How do you get a lot of area into a
compact inline filter? Pleats. More pleats mean
more surface area and in turn, better flowing filters.
Aeromotive in-line filters boast the most surface area
of any filter elements in the industry.
Our fuel filters aren’t just better on the inside, they
are arguably the most appealing filter in the industry
on the outside. Machined out of Aircraft grade billet
aluminum alloy and precision coated with your option
of bright dip red or black anodize, hardcoat and even
a nickel plated finish in our Platinum Series. Variety,
quality, unmatched performance and finish leave all
other filters in the dust. Don’t trust your investment
with any other filter.

A note regarding filter replacement:
Commonly the most overlooked component in a fuel system, filter neglect can be the most costly. If not cleaned or replaced regularly, filter
elements can become clogged resulting in reduced fuel flow, engine performance and ultimately, fuel pump or even worse, engine damage.
By simply replacing and/or cleaning your filter elements regularly, you can avoid costly repairs to your fuel system and ensure peak engine
performance.
Aeromotive recommends annual inspection and service of filter elements. This includes replacing 10-micron fabric elements and cleaning or
replacing 100-micron stainless steel elements. Severe duty applications or newly installed systems may require more frequent maintenance.

Things to consider when picking a fuel filter:
- Where is the filter being placed? This is the most important piece of information because it will dictate which filter to use.
Typically, 100 micron filters are used on the suction side of the pump, that is between the fuel cell and the pump, and is meant to
protect the fuel pump from internal damage. On the pressure side, between the pump and regulator/carburetor/fuel rail, a 10 micron
filter is used to protect the engine and fuel inlet ports. - What size filter is needed? When designing your fuel system make sure that all your parts/ports are somewhat compatible. If
you're using a filter with incompatible port sizes you may face problems of fuel starvation. For example, if your pickups are ORB-
10 and your pump inlet is ORB-10 don't use a filter with ORB-06 inlet/outlet ports. - What type of fuel is being used? Consider this as some fuels may damage or dissolve the filter element, clogging the system and
leaving your pumps and engine vulnerable.
