Inline fuel filter location

Postby petep » Wed Nov 13, 2019 5:26 pm

Where are people installing an inline fuel filters for a Aeroinjector system?

1. Forward of the firewall
Pro - easy access
Con - Heat soaking

2. Aft of the firewall
Pro - Less heat soaking
Con - Hard to access.

Thanks,
Pete

I considered in the cabin. Problem was getting it to fit while keeping a downhill run and not interfering with the pedals. I have a super short run if you check out my posts in my Cotton Waiex 191 thread.

Edit: read page 102 forward.

Mine = Firewall / Gold Cube fuel sender / fuel filter / short fuel line / AeroInjector.

I have the entire fuel system double insulated from the firewall to the AeroInjector, including the Gold Cube and the filter.

See page 11 on my photo album.. all items are inside the engine compartment...

At this time I only have fire sleeve from the red cube to the carb. I haven't done much flying in hot weather and so far I've had no burb issues.
