What did you do before you put kit on?Since this kit does not have a filter, what have you been doing for maintenance?
The gt350 uses a inline filter that meets Bosch injector specifications, the pre-pump filter does not meet any injector manufacturer specifications bc it only filters out large particles that could damage the pumps. It's the job of the in line filter to clean up stuff that could dirty the injectors.I am not sure how this is seen as lacking filtration? Its an OEM GT350 hat designed to go for a hundred thousand miles by Ford. It has socks down in the bottom of the plastic housing. Ive only had mine for a few hundred miles so far so I cant talk with too much experience. But i knew i was looking for a whipple, E85, about 750rwhp and This system fit the bill. As long as you know and arent trying to push it beyond its means.

Stock GT's have the filter built into the basket so they dont use a inline filter
to the OP, have them sonic cleaned. Keep a eye on your STFT1/ STFT2/LTFT1/LTFT2, if you noticed they start going more and more positive, it's time to clean them. I ran that same pump on my daily for about a year and never had a issue, but you are always one dirty tank of fuel away from injectors clogging or getting stuck open
yep, most injector themselves have a basket in them as a last line of defense against particles, but they are easily clogged bc of their size, they're not meant to be the primary source of filtration...Learn something new everyday!
I remembered learning a while ago that S550 GTs did not have traditional in line fuel filters and just used the basket and socks on the pumps. I assumed it was the same for the GT350.yep, most injector themselves have a basket in them as a last line of defense against particles, but they are easily clogged bc of their size, they're not meant to be the primary source of filtration...
I pmed you about what your doing.I bought a used Sai Li that I was in the process of converting to twin DW400’s so I took the basket apart and this is what I found. It would hurt to clean occasionally I’m guessing.
Can you send me the same PM? I'm considering this upgrade as well.I pmed you about what your doing.
GT have non-serviceable canister filter, its the big black thing next to the pump. They have a sock under the pump, and a post pump filter right next to the pump. Since the Shelby hat uses that spit for a second pump, they had to add a in line filter.I remembered learning a while ago that S550 GTs did not have traditional in line fuel filters and just used the basket and socks on the pumps.

Thats all the stuff that did NOT make it into the fuel system, so that gunk was sitting at the bottom. Anything that made it past the fuel pump sock will have already passed through your lines and your injectors or returned back into the bucket via the return hose. Cleaning that bottom of the bucket will do you no good...I bought a used Sai Li that I was in the process of converting to twin DW400’s so I took the basket apart and this is what I found.
