Default Too much filter???

-10 feed from cell, system 1 Long 30 Micron filter, a1000, weldon 10 micron filter before rail.

Is the weldon filter added on too much? They both are supposedly able to flow serious rates from what ive read.

The fuel system will supply fuel for nitrous kit also.

Ive got one guy telling me its fine, ive got another telling me to loose the weldon filter. What do you think?

You want the 10 micron after the pump, and before the rails like you have it. The 30 micron might be a bit overkill before the pump, 100 is normal, but if it flows well, it shouldn't be a problem.

If I'm reading this right, you have the 30 after the pump?? If so, as vee8 says, it goes B4 the pump....

10 Micron before the rails is great.

Having a 30 Micron, feeding into a 10 Micron, on the pressure side won't hurt anything.

Do NOT put the 30 Micron before the pump! It will cause too much restriction on the suction side. (If you want one before the pump, look for something closer to 100 Microns.)

i got this all settled. the 30 micron filter was exchanged for a 100 micron filter.

thanks for the input guys, that could have been bad.
