Fuel Filter Relocation Kit?

[rborden]

Is there a fuel filter relocation kit when swapping from an SRA to a IRS?

No to my knowledge. I'll admit it would be nice if that were an option. I am sure something can be done though. There's way to much stuff out there for fuel systems on these cars for there not to be. Assuming your keeping the stock fuel system obviously.

The filter is obviously a bitch. I think the key to changing it is getting the car up high and have a good set of aluminum disconnect tools. Not the cheap shit plastic or X style universal ones.

I figured with all the tech and workarounds, there had to be a relocation kit.

So I’ll get with my installer and see what he can come up with.

The fuel filter is the same between the SRA and IRS. The only way I've seen to relocate it is to go with aftermarket lines and fuel filter and move it somewhere more convenient. Or keep a spare on hand so any time you have the tank down or the IRS down you can throw in a new one easily.

i've never found them too difficult to change with the irs, maybe i've just been lucky (?). as mentioned good disconnect tools help

I ran new nylon lines and connectors the last time I had the tank down.

I pressure fitted in a barbed end for the hard line side and shaped the tank-side line with nylon flex line, nylon line and brass fittings. I protected the lines with split rubber hose sealed with permatex and loomed the flex line part going into the tank top.

The filter fittings are easy to remove now and serviceable. You don't even need a special tool.
