Fuel Filter for FI - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

magwakeenercew2jh · 03-16-2009, 10:42 AM

As I said somewhere else, I'm installing a Holley Pro-Jection FI system on the in the '83 stepper.

The instructions warn about installing with a fuel filter inside the tanks, because of possible issues of restricting the flow.

Does anyone know if the dual tank 1/2 ton step-side (Silverado) has filters in the tanks? If so, do you know how do I get at them? The system has a high-flow filter, so if anyone has this experience, and if they are in there, has anyone removed them before?

Thanks.

All EFI (87-91) pickups have the filter on the passenger side fuel rail, you don't want the filter in the tank, it would be a bear to change it.

Thanks, Chris. I'm installing a Holley FI system on a non FI truck. I was warned against coming against a flow problem if there are STOCK filters in the tanks of the '83 Silverado, 'cause I'd have to take them out. Holley provides a filter that rides outside the tank(s) that I'm gonna install...I just wanted to get at - and remove - any filters that may be in the tanks.....

But I don't want to think about it if someone knows they aren't there in a carb'd '83 Silverado.

Thanks for the response.

If i am understanding correctly,they are speaking of the sock filters in the fuel tank on the end of the sending unit pickup tube.They are on all of them, Carb or Injected
