I don't know how many of you guys run inline fuel filters, but I found this one at AutoZone and I'm really impressed with it.. A solid aluminum construction with large ports in and out and will flow a lot of fuel... It has a stone filter in it and it is unscrewable to service for cleaning... It was time for me to put in a filter because my tank liner is at the point where I'm getting too much **** down in the bowl so I'm going to give this a shot we'll see what happens. AutoZone $14... How can you not trust your name like Edelbrock... Hell the first time I ever bought anything Edelbrock was a Torker 2 intake manifold for my high RPM small block Chevy. That ****ing thing really turned on....
I ran one similar to that with the same type of filter element inside. For the exact reason you plan on installing yours.
I did not notice any difference in the way the bike ran with or without and I purposely switched back and forth to be sure. No hint of fuel starvation, and again, no difference in the way the bike ran at all.
Did not find much liner material making it to the filter element either, but I did a pretty thorough job cleaning the old liner out. Spent a lot time on it.
Not a fan of any type of inline filter, they will work fine but sooner or later they will cause issues.
When they get hot (and they live in a hot spot) they will cause fuel flow problems.
That is my biggest concern, possible vapor lock... The only place to really put it is in between the cylinders.. I gotta do something though. When I pulled the carb bowl there was a lot crap in there and I just recently tried to clean all the tank liner out...
I have an Edelbrock 1320 supercharger on my Lotus Evora 400.
That serviceability is nice. A lot of guys don't like filters on the fuel line because they will fill up with the crap, but that's exactly why I like them. I would rather have any debris in the filter than in my carburetor. A handy one to keep laying around is a Fram G3515 equivalent, like a WIX 33027 or whatever is generic wherever you buy parts. I try to avoid Fram parts. That one is metal and 5/16 in and out. I use them all the time for anything from the fuel line on my chipper/shredder to fuel tank vents. There's one on the Sportster now between the fuel pump and the injectors.

Thanks, In my case do you think there will be issues with the filter between the cylinders heat wise?
I was able to get it mounted so it's not hitting the cylinder head or the horn bracket and it's not in between the cylinders it should get sufficient cooling where it is. We'll see how it goes.. The way I'm looking at it, the only thing it can do is help and this filter really does flow quickly so it shouldn't be an issue.. It was made for cars... Plus the color matches the bike.. How can it go wrong... Lol...
You can't go wrong with Edelbrock.
I run this clear cleanable filter that I think I got from Drag in addition to the in tank that my Pingel has.
Being clear, it makes it easy to see if the petcock filter isn't doing it's job.
