This fuel filter sock mounts directly on the fuel pump’s 11 millimetre intake and works as the first filtration of the fuel before it reaches the pump itself. The filter sock helps prevent dirt, particles and other contaminants from being drawn into the pump, where they can reduce flow or affect pump life.
This filter sock fits fuel pumps with 11 millimetre pump inlet. The 11 millimetre connection refers to the pump intake where the filter sock is mounted, not the outer dimensions of the filter.
A clean and properly functioning pre-filter is important for stable fuel supply and for protecting the fuel pump against contamination from the tank. This is especially relevant on older vehicles, motorsport cars, tuning projects and other high-performance fuel systems where fuel quality and flow are critical.
When servicing or replacing a fuel pump, it is often recommended to replace the filter sock at the same time to ensure optimal operation and maximum protection of the fuel system. If the filter sock becomes clogged, it can restrict the fuel pump supply and affect fuel system performance.
