A carburetor fuel filter plays a crucial role in many older vehicles that use carburetors. Its primary function is to remove dirt, rust, and other contaminants from the fuel before entering the carburetor. This ensures smooth engine performance and prevents clogging of the carburetor’s jets or passages. To cater to the needs of enthusiasts seeking a vintage-look filter, Edelbrock introduces its Clear View Fuel Filter.
The Edelbrock Clear View Fuel Filter is available in 5/16-inch (part no. 8747) and 3/8-inch (part no. 8748) inside diameters. The see-thru design not only dresses up the engine bay but also affords a quick visual check of filtered contamination and the fuel flow.
The fuel filter is located in the fuel line between the mechanical fuel pump and the carburetor. On one end of the filter is an aluminum barbed black E-coated fitting that is laser inscribed with the Edelbrock name. Each filter end fitting comes labeled with an in or out designation to determine filter orientation during installation. Each fuel filter is rated to operate with rubber hoses up to 10-psig.
Every Clear View Fuel Filter has a serviceable 100-micron nylon filter element that keeps dirt and debris from clogging up the small passages in a carburetor. Edelbrock has designed the filter element (part no. 8749) to be easily serviceable.
The cylindrical glass filters are both functional and visually appealing and will be sought after by Mopar muscle car enthusiasts for their nostalgic design and modern practicality.
