Title: Fuel Filter
Post by: kalel on July 13, 2011, 07:16:27 pm

I was underneath my truck (85 Silverado) and i found a inline fuel filter on the passenger side frame rail
at the back of the cab/front of the bed area. Does anyone know if this came from the factory or did
someone just put it there? Thanks for any info.

The only stock one I was aware of is in the carb where the fuel line comes in. Do you have a pic? I have two '85 Silverado's so I can look tomorrow... dark here now.

The filter in the carb is the only one i was aware of too. I don't have a pic but will take one tomorrow. I appreciate you taking a look.

Yeah, thats most likely aftermarket. They probably put it there instead of replacing the steel line that runs from the pump to the carb.

Yep, checked my trucks and nothing. I was surprised how darn rusty my older trucks fuel lines were. I can't believe they didn't leak :-\
