When I watch the pros on TV anytime they are pouring fuel in the car I see a filter/screen that stretches over the funnel. Anyone know who makes these? 272" Spitzer Bednar Racing Engines 540 The Blower Shop XR1 3.73@195 Less Boost Than You Think www.killerrons.com | ||

I've seen some guys stretch a piece of ladies nylons over their funnel. Wonder what the micron rating is on that? lol Here's an inexpensive option: http://www.northerntool.com/sh...lves-meters?seeAll=1 Dan DOES YOUR IDEOLOGY ALLOW YOU TO EQUITABLY APPLY STANDARDS OF ACCOUNTABILITY OR DOES IT PROMOTE THE PRACTICE OF HYPOCRISY? | |||

Hey grandfather use to use old pantyhose for paintfilter when paint had trash in it,worked great. Pretty fine mesh also.Those old guys knew how to make use of everything to keep from spending buck. Not suggesting it just saying it probably works. http://www.schooledbyscotty.com/ Only the stupid know too much to learn something new.

Just ordered one, I'll let you know. I would think that if it works with gas it will be OK with alcohol. Gas is much more of a solvent than alcohol is.......... 272" Spitzer Bednar Racing Engines 540 The Blower Shop XR1 3.73@195 Less Boost Than You Think www.killerrons.com | |||

IMHO filtering the fuel is important, but it can be a simple effort. I pump from drums into 5 gal jugs and have 5 in my trailer. I have one jug with the hose spout that is dedicated to refueling my car. I use a large red funnel with a built in, but removable fine mesh filter and refill my dedicated jug using it when it is empty at the track. https://www.summitracing.com/p...550-014-06/overview/ https://www.summitracing.com/p...500-000-01/overview/ https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pit...105126&wl13=&veh=sem 2005 2000lb 4 link dragster home brew 582 BBC Dart 355 1.058 2.98 4.629@149 6.094 7.310@185 | |||

I filter from the drum to the jug, from the jug to the cell. I don't run a filter on my car. 72 Nova "Hooptie" | |||

Paul, I have one of the triangular funnels with the filter in it, but on my car with the front mounted fuel tank I can't use it. There is a baffle and return tubes directly below the fill cap. I made a funnel that screws in the same as the filler cap. The Outerwears screen/filter looks like it will be the ticket. 272" Spitzer Bednar Racing Engines 540 The Blower Shop XR1 3.73@195 Less Boost Than You Think www.killerrons.com | |||

How does that work?
So do the pro teams use it to pre-filter the fuel and also to ensure no added water contaminates it?This message has been edited. Last edited by: Tom Reyer, 72 Nova "Hooptie" | |||

I never use that funnel to put fuel in the cars tank. I figured if I filter it going in the jugs and I'm golden. I have never raced in an area that I had to worry about junk getting into my tank when refueling and use this hose on my dedicated jug. I like using this hose as I can easily see the level in the tank and avoid over fills.  2005 2000lb 4 link dragster home brew 582 BBC Dart 355 1.058 2.98 4.629@149 6.094 7.310@185 | |||

I tried one of those hoses and it's just too difficult to fill this tank because of the baffle and tube directly below the opening. There is literally only 3/8ths below the fill hole. My screw in funnel works great. I used a fill cap, cut a hole in it and TIG'ed an aluminum funnel to it.This message has been edited.
