You really need a inline fuel filter for the feed?
Alot of folks on here know what I have done with my SC400 and the story behind it. After I having been enjoying the car, I decided to change the brakes up front and change wheels. In the middle of the progress, I noticed the new feed line for the fuel, didnt have a inline filter. I do know that my TT fuel pump has a filter on it, but DO YOU REALLY NEED AN INLINE AERO STYLE FUEL FILTER AS WELL?
Open for discussion.. pro's versus con's, if any at all????

Yea I would say you need one as the sock in tank only goes to so many microns and the job of the in line filter is to catch anything smaller than what the sock can catch, Injectors can clog/stick if there is no filter to catch micro particles and if boosted it can also cause an individual cylinder lean condition and we all know the end result of this.
Do you have -6 line or something along those lines?

That is exactly what I have size wise. I am wondering why they didnt put an inline filter in there to begin with? Just to be on the safe side? It was only a few more bucks....

It is in the back.. I guess I need to get one on there ASAP. I am wondering how is the best way to cut and install the new fittings without damaging the new line and making it start to fray? Any ideas, besides buying/renting the AN cutting tool?

definitely gotta use the old tape method. wrap it u pretty good with masking tape and take a fine tooth hacksaw to it, haven't tried a sharp pair of cutters but that sounds cleaner if you have some large enough.
you can have a little bit of fray though when you put the fittings on it should cover it up for the most part.
what you may want is one of those nice AN wrenches for getting that fitting on, I have a tendency to scratch them up getting them on.

Makes perfect sense. I will try to find one here local with the correct fittings. I dont like the idea of cutting with a metal blade when gas is involved...
