Nitro fuel filter worth having or not?

[Welshy_Pete]

Hiya is it worth fitting a nitro fuel filter?

thanks:D

[PTRU]

Yes it is

Never run without it even if the tank says it has a flter built in.

Neither the fuel filter nor the air filter are necessary. Remove them both, it improves the liquid and air flow... :woot:

Likewise, who cares about checking tire pressure and oil level on a full size car?

(some people, I swear... :eh?:)

I guess you should ask the question; would you run your 1/1 car with no air filter, oil filter, fuel filter and then throw gravel into the engine!! It's pretty much the same principle!

i dont run one on my nitros, but then again they have a decent one on the tank already. I used to run one, i just choose not to now.

A lot of the top boys run 2...as do I, they shouldn't restrict fuel flow, only if full of dirt, and that kina answears the question of weather they should be there or not if you have to clean or change them;).

oh yer if you are doing big meets, and running big or more than one filter check your fuel capacity before you race,

tenth ic very rarley run em, reason being there is one in the tank, and we have a restriction on capacity

there NOT a necesity

[racingdwarf]

i would agree that it depends on what and were you are running, a dusty day at slough with a rallyx car, with refuling stops is prob a much more dirty enviroment that a nice summers day at a tarmac circuit:)

I was looking at getting one of those kind.:)

Not a necessity..

TRF actory driver Ryan Lutz doesn't run one.. and I think he knows what he's doing

He says they don't fill all the way up leaving air in the tops... which can lead to in consistant tunes, flameouts, etc..

So before you begin your roasting sessions on ppl asking for help. Maybe try to visualize outside your narrow minded box and think a little.. and honestly, how many of you actually clean them out regularly anyways? Kind of defeats the purpose imo.. but oh I forgot all of you are perfect rite?
