| Post subject: | EFI Fuel Filter? |
Just thinking, I will need a fuel filter for my Mini. I am going fuel injected so it needs to be a high pressure one. Can anyone recomend an "off the shelf" filter kit available here in Australia? |

Just go into an auto store and find anything designed for 'push through' fuel injection with a 5/16" size barb on it. The stock rover one is a fairly standard size common to lots of Japanese cars. |

I'm filtering before the EFI pump, so just using a normal $5 filter from wherever. Why bother filtering after the pump, if there's any crap in the fuel, you don't want it getting into the pump anyway.... |

Too fine to suck through without cavitating in the pump so you pre-filter the big chunks and post filter the small stuff. I have a rover EFI filter and mount... goes to shed to photo... |

That's what I want... where can I get something like that on this side of the equator? I have copper fuel pipe and can crimp the ends so "all" I need is the filter and end fittings... |

It's not a complex as it looks in this shot. The actual filter is just a plain metal cylinder with a threaded inlet/outlet on each end. The photo shows it inside the thin black metal bracket that wraps around it and bolts it to the body. |

This would be a Z200 fuel filter. Looks similar in dimensions to the rover fuel filter, but with barbed ends. Available at any auto parts store for cheap. Andrew |
