Looks good doc!

FYI you probably can eliminate the decel valve like I did!

I considered decel elimination, but my reading showed it to be better to have. But, since it is not necessary it may just go away. Too bulky.

I sure am having some luck with this step of the build. I emailed my detailed order for FI parts and hoses to the guy at DeLorean Auto Parts only to not have an answer back.....similar to last time. So I call to find out, via the answering machine, that they are packing and getting ready for a big DeLorean meet. This meet is to happen, I find on line, weekend after next (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) How much longer must I wait?! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

I sent another email to the hose guy to ask about an ETA. In the mean time, I made a diagram of the fuel system with a legend, I figured I would share.

Why is the filter after the pump and accumulator?

I wonder that as well, but that is the correct way according to all diagrams I have seen. Screwy. I am looking into a high flow one before the pump. The filter is a beast built to handle pressure.

Vanagon has a huge filter after the pump, and it may be there to act as a "pseudo-accumulator" and to catch crap coming out of a disintegrating pump to protect the rest of the EFI.

I like that you are putting a second filter in front of the pump. Had to go to that configuration when a load of bad gas dumped about 8 cups of crap into my fuel tank. The crap looked like clay, water, and ground up fuel pump from the gas company storage tank pump. Chewed up the expen$ive fuel injection pump, so consider the pre-filter as cheap insurance.

What pre-filter did you use? It would save me some time looking for a suitable one.

It took me a while looking through the parts book in Napa to find one with the proper sized in and out lines! You need to get your lines sorted out at the tank and then find the proper filter to attach to those lines. The 914 tank is probably different sized than the Bus so knowing what I have probably wont help your situation!

I don't have time today to open up the botom of the car to look at the filter part number, sorry!

Measure the fuel line ID or the pump inlet barb, go down to your FLAPS, go to the huge fuel filter selection board, and pick one that matches the fuel line ID and the amount of money in your pocket. I used the translucent rectangular plastic ones that were non-metric as they were cheap and worked great.

25.4 mm per inch means a 6mm id is about a quarter of an inch, 8mm is about 5/16.

The inlet is 12mm and the FP is putting out 70-90 psi so I am reticent to use just any old filter. However, I would expect any big honking one would work. It needs to flow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Mike, fuel pressure shouldn't matter. If I'm reading this correctly and you're doing a "pre filter" you're on the suction side of the pump.

Clarified my post. It needs to be able to flow, yes.

Evil,

Don't worry about the flow too much. All fuel injection systems use a honkin big high pressure high volume pump, and then bleed off the excess pressure and flow.

Remember the plastic fuel filter found in the 4 cyl 914's? That's plenty big enough. All you need to do is find a filter with the correct inlet and outlet size that is at least close to that in size. They tend to come in metal or plastic. After the load of crappy fuel episode, I like the translucent ones because you can see the crud. When your filter gets full, the pump sound volume also increases.

I didn't run a pre-filter. Just a huge one after the pump and accumulator.

My tank doesnt have a filter sock anymore as it is modified. I want to keep particles out of the pump. Seems like an easy way to add cheap protection.

I have been able to communicate with the hose maker. He changed his tune in one email and wanted the ends sent to him. I sent him the email where he said that those were included, and that I didnt have the ends anyway and he agreed. I calculated the cost for everything and will be sending a MO for the kit. He will not be able to make it until sometime after next week. At least the process is still in motion. So far the cost is looking good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
