Question about meth system filter
Question about meth system filter Can an AEM methanol filter be installed on the pressure side? I have a C7 Z06 that mounts the pump in the fender well using the windshield washer tank. Hard to get to for filter cleaning.

The issue will be the filter handling the pressure, although unless you're pumping against a dead head, dont expect to ever see 200psi.
You should never have drainage into the intake, as nozzles should never be installed in the intake unless there is a solenoid or valve to prevent intake vac sucking in fluid.
And if installed in the boost plumbing, the nozzles should always be higher than the reservoir itself, or if not, again solenoid or suitable check valves should be used to prevent siphoning.
Pretty much all nozzles these days have a small filter basket in them anyway, so there's little reason why a filter pre-pump isnt the easiest option anyway. Although I havent run a filter on mine for years and never had an issue, I'm just careful any containers used for filling are always clean.
