how good are the stock fuel filters? anyone using an after market fuel filter? just thinking that with all the upgrades on these motors and walb. fuel pumps that the stock fuel filters could not be as efficient. i do have the walb. fuel pump and afpr. just curious.

Re: fuel filter question

I don't have the stock filters, stock fuel system actually but I can recommend canton fuel filters.

They make some super nice oil and fuel filters, you can buy the universal or bolt in style.

I have the universal oil on the sy and the bolt on style oil filter on the so gt and both are great quality pieces. I believe you can buy direct from them or summit etc. I had an account with them years ago so thats how I got mine.

Also one bit of info I have is the stock gm filters do clog pretty easily and restrict flow which takes out the fuel pump.

Good luck with the search!

Re: fuel filter question

GM filters clogging up easy would lead me to believe they are doing their job better then woudln't it? although flow restriction is bad, is it worse to have a pump go bad or hurt the motor by getting a bunch of crap inside

Re: fuel filter question

thanx for the replies.
i only use 93 octane hoping for less clogging. i always assumed that all gas was the same but better filtered in your higher octanes.
and i agree, it's better to have the filter clog up and lose the pump vs. the motor. perhaps a new gas tank might make a difference compared to the 17 year old stock.
