Im trying to find a ryco (or any other brand) normal in-line fuel filter but instead of the normal barb type push on fittings, i want ones that are made for -6 AN fittings. I've had a bit of a look around on the net but can't seem to find a part number. What are you guys using? Im installing a fuel pressure gauge for the next tune and all the fuel lines are braided.

The braided line is a pain in the ass to get back off when doing a filter change due to the barb style holding it in place so i would rather have an easy fitting that i can unbolt. I remember seeing them at Autobarn when i worked there but god knows what one it was. The only drama i can think of the -6 line uses a 9/16"x18 thread for the AN fittings, do they make fuel filters with that thread or will a metric equivalent work ok?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I might call Ryco tomorrow after work. Thanks guys.

Ahh ok fair enough. I havn't read much into those types of filters, they last just as long as a normal fuel filter, change every 5,000-10,000km or so?

EDIT: Just had a quick Google search and the cheapest one i have found so far is like $60.....Hmm maybe im going to just have to deal with these Ryco ones being such a bitch to get off.

Well if they last a long time i suppose it is worth it. Im going to do a bit more reading about them cause i read somewhere that they are a "pre filter", so not sure if that means you shouldn't use one on it's own :)

    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
    • Gucci bags tend to hold their value well, so someone’s definitely going to get a nice find here.
    • @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑
    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed    
    • All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
