gas filter < 10 micron

gas filter < 10 micron

gas filter < 10 micron

(OP)
I'm using some inline Fram filters equivalent to the old AC GF-454. Gravity feed motorcycle. Fine rust makes it into the carburetors.  I'm guessing a filter for electronic fuel injection would capture finer particles.  Does anyone know of an EFI application using basic hose clamps and 1/4 or 5/16 inch lines.

RE: gas filter < 10 micron

There are TONS... A quick look at any aftermarket parts source should easily find one in their web searches.. Jegs/Summit Racing,etc...  

RE: gas filter < 10 micron

Sorry thought you wanted a 10 micron.. Not sub 10 micron..
That's much tougher to find.

RE: gas filter < 10 micron

What harm will <10 micron rust do to carburetors?  Should pass right through, no?

RE: gas filter < 10 micron

Perhaps a magnetic filter?  Sub 10 might starve the flow once it begins to plug up if that is your only filter.  Could do a progressive filtering with the last in line being a 2 or 5.

RE: gas filter < 10 micron

Personally I would be looking to solve the problem of the rust being there in the first place.
Filtering it out is at best a band aid approach and not a solution.

Most motorcycle shops sell tank sealer kits which include a cleaner. They are also available from the same company making POR 15.

Cheers , Pete.

RE: gas filter < 10 micron

I agree with Peter, but make sure your tank sealer is ethanol resistant. A lot of gasoline has 10-15% ethanol in it.

RE: gas filter < 10 micron

I've been a fan of the tank sealers until recently.  After 5  yrs or so, a lot of them are peeling and making a mess worse than a rusty tank.  I have to clean a Triumph tank shortly and will be acid cleaning followed by a phosphating treatment, no sealer.  Same for the oil tank, which gets too hot for sealer anyway.
