Hot Rods Fuel filter 3/8 flare

Quick question. Does anyone here know if a fuel filter exist that is 3/8 female flare on both the inlet and outlet. I was wanting to run a hard line from my mechanical fuel pump to the carb and thought this would be better than having a little rubber hose and clamps in the middle. Thanks

 

Thanks. I'm gonna check on that one tomorrow. All the descriptions I find show it having metric threads. I'll let you know what I find.

 

I think they're all metric, designed for older EFI systems.

you can get a reproduction filter for a late 60s Corvette or SS396 Chevelle that has 3/8 flare in and out, but it also has a 1/4" ****** for a rubber hose to connect to the return line. Pricy.

for example:

You may be able to use metric tube nuts on your hard line, a 3/8" steel line will fit in a 10mm hole.

 

GF90 for Corvettes and L79 sbc .... Similar at O'Reilly are around $30, half of other suppliers..

 

On my avatar, I put a spin on filter in the line from the tank about mid way. Its a small unit from mercruser boat stuff, filter and mount is about the same height as the 34 rail. Cheap, easy, and effective

 

Where did you get it, got pictures, and how much did it cost? The metric nuts on 3/8” tube works great.

 

Thanks everyone. I think that gf90 may be a winner. It's 1/8 npt so I can add a adapter to each side and make that work. Thanks again.

 

How about installing the filter on the inlet side where it is under vacuum rather than pressure, less likely to have a leak in my opinion. Two good spots are at the outlet of the tank or the inlet of the fuel pump.

 

You can buy all the correct fuel lines as a kit...here is a picture..very easy to
make your own and a lot less money...

 

Well.... that would work if that was the application I was using it in but...
It's going on a pontiac v8 in my 50 chieftan. But hey it should give me 30-40 more horsepower since it's a vette part.

 

@SS327 , I bought the Mercruser filter base on ebay, forget how much. Bobcat skid steers have a small spin on filter too. Between the tank and pump protects the valves in the pump also

 

Common practice is filter after pump for mechanical fuel pumps and before the pump for electric pumps. In both cases, it's about what is best for prolonged operation of the pump.
