Just put a loop in it to bypass the filter. Have airdog so the 3 micro should be good enough. What benefits will I see racing? More flow, quicker recovery?
Deleting the factory fuel filter?
- Thread starter DetailsUnlimited
- Start date
just did it to mine a few weeks ago and cant say i notice much difference other than i dont have to worry about leaks or second filter.
I haven't deleted the filter just bypassed for now to see how it worked. What pid's do I need to turn off? And sofar the only thing I e noticed is my frp up 2k on start up. 5 to 7? I tow a Trailor everyday so I won't see any result until the weekend.
I did this just simply unplug pull it off get a 180* piece of a metal fuel line an there you go done this to a couple Lmms seems like fuel comes on faster nothing drastic if you have any Q's just ask me :thumb:
I did it with the left over hose from air dog install. Just looped it the hose with two hose clamps. You remove everything fuel filter housing and all. Those plugs..i just left mine hanging. No benefits to me except for having two 2micron filters instead of one 4micron or whatever it is. There is a detailed write up on another forum.
And codes come up that I need to get rid of with Efi? The delete is easy looking, but just wanted to make sure I don't blow up driving down the street. Worst case...:angel:
yep also you can clean up the engine bay some more you could rerun the fuel line to just go right to the cp3 if you want to get crazy 
thats my plan is to redue some fuel plumbing once i get some other intake set-ups planned out an put together buddy of mine has got wheels turning in my head after seeing his :rofl:

No codes or nothing.
You can add a hose barb to the 2 lines right at the filter head to splice them together, or you can loop about a foot of hose from the 2 lines more toward the front of the motor, or you can use a 180° fuel fitting and 2 short pieces of hose to clean it up better. Dont use a short piec of hose to "loop" back as it will collapse...
You wont see any gain in deleting the filter. You lift pump already pushes the fuel up to the motor. If you see any gain, your factory filter was prolly bad.
This mod allows you to not have to change an expensive filter, also its not hard to get to to change anymore.
You will loose your primer though, and if your lift pump fails, and you bypass it, good luck getting your truck running. I had to pull vacuum from the fuel test port to prime my truck when my FASS failed. I also run a AirDog now
The AirDog filters work very good, and are like 3 micron, I am thinking about putting my 2 micron CAT filter back in line as well, to catch anything before lift pump, since its cheap to change and can go a long time.

Thx guys. Just took the filter unit out and had the barbed fitting in. Where can I get a u shaped brass tube or aluminum?

Couldn't have said better my truck wouldn't pull fuel threw the failed pump any way so primer didn't matter
Jegs, summit, a hose supply store....
Looking to do something like this:
