How many fuel filters is too many fuel filters?
There's always one that argues against common sense. Somehow, I didn't visualize it being you. Run what you want. I'm stickin with metal.
Common sense?
Your argument about fuel filters getting crushed in a car accident is BS. It's just a bad argument without evidence.
I've been in or around the fire service for over 20 years. Starting from volunteer all the way to paid professional, running around a thousand calls a year for over ten years now. I've seen hundreds and hundreds of car accidents. I've never seen an accident where a crushed fuel filter was the
only fuel leak. And I've seen crushed metal filters leak. Cars with enough damage to crush the filter have leaks all over the place because the lines fail all over. Get stripped right off the frame in some cases. And in all that time I have yet to respond to a car fire of any kind caused by a fuel filter failure.
So, run a metal filter, run a plastic filter, I don't care. But if that was your reasoning, it's wrong. You don't like em, awesome. Say that. Because your argument about accident safety is false.
I run a filter with a replaceable element so I can open it up and see what's in there. Best of both worlds. And after you've thrown away a few of those cheap auto parts store filters that aren't flow rated it's paid for itself too.
