Introduction
When it comes to fuel filtration, one size doesn't fit all. The micron rating of a fuel filter determines its use. Colored Power offers both 10 micron and 100 micron fuel filters, each suited for different needs and engine types.
Understanding Micron Ratings
10 Micron Filters: Block extremely fine particles. Essential for EFI systems.
100 Micron Filters: Capture larger debris. Ideal for pre-pump or carbureted setups.
When to Use a 10 Micron Fuel Filter
Colored Power’s 10 micron fuel filters are best used as a post-pump filter in high-pressure fuel injection systems. They ensure that injectors aren’t clogged, leading to smooth engine performance.
When to Choose 100 Micron
A fuel filter 100 micron is a great first-stage option. It catches large debris before the fuel reaches the pump or injectors, especially in vehicles using custom fuel tanks.
Best Practices
Colored Power recommends using a dual-stage setup:
A 100 micron filter before the pump
A 10 micron filter after the pump
This ensures comprehensive protection.
Conclusion
Colored Power provides the right filter for the right job—optimize your fuel system with the perfect micron rating for maximum engine protection.
