Im a Automotive Technician and after some trouble shooting Iver determined that my injectors are clogging up with debre. Most likely from the fuel tank passing through the 1 sock filter on the bottom of the pump. Ive read that the stock pump has a sock and a micro filter but if it does mine is missing the micro filter. I need input from somebody that have taken apart there stock fuel pump as Im AM NOT going to replace a perfectly good fuel pump just for a filter

If i need a filter I will take my stock line and have it modified at a shop to connect to a metal in line filter unless somebody can suggest another method of adding a in line filter. Also if anybody could tell me what there fuel pressure is at idle that would be great. I know the specs are around 50psi at idle but mine is closer to 60psi.

 

Just the sock...

 

Pretty sure there are 1 or 2 inline filters as well. Not 100% on that though as it may have been an aftermarket thing, but pretty confident I read the stock z has some inline filters.. so you may have to worry about those too...
Someone should chime in and set it all straight though.

 

No.

 

Didn't think so. Can't remember where I read it at.. though it may have been someone saying they were adding them..

 

no inlines...

 

Okay just one sock on the pump just as mine has. Although when I took mine apart it was pretty dirty. Funny how Nissan seems to think that this one sock will keep all debre out. After cleaning my non serviceable(********) sock debre continued getting into the injectors shorty after. Problem is if there's a tear i didn't see nobody sells just the sock which puts me back at square one with out modifying the line.

 

I don't think I want you working on my car if you can't even install a fuel filter yourself.......

And yes, you only have the sock on the pump. No other filters. You're the first person I've heard of having a problem with it.

 

I wouldnt want to working on my car either. Your lucky if you can get a 50-60 psi line to hold fuel pressure with nothing but hose clamps. Do it right the first time or theres no point in doing it.

Well i guess im just thats lucky that some jack *** was messing with the pump before I got the car.

 

I'll sell you that sock if you want...it's an extra fuel pump assembly that I bought a little while back...PM me with a fair price.

 

thanks for the offer but im just going to go ahead and have the line custom made by a shop that does specialty hoses so i can just service the filter every now and then.
