The inlet hose and outlet hose sizes are the same, are they not?

Wouldn't it be helpful to mention the fuel line size? Filter looks fine, it would be nice if they listed Fuel line sizes

4/5

The main fuel line is 5/16, and the return line is 1/4.

In hot weather, this is a great way to fix a vapor-locked vehicle

5/5

I bought this fuel filter to fix my son's vapor lock issue on his F100. It's a great fuel filter for the price. We got the desired result this way. As a result, we are no longer experiencing vapor lock issues when we run the offset nipple back to the fuel tank. It is a great fuel filter. I have no regrets.

The carbs and the fuel of today's economy make this a must

5/5

In a nutshell, In running this filter, you can feel the fuel getting cooler and that most of the air that enters from vapor lock and etc is going back to the tank. Wixs told me the 1/4 return to tank needs to be at 12 O clock as air rises. It was at full temperature on a nasty hot day, no problems, and it had vapor lock in the past as well.

On a 1988 Isuzu trooper, I repaired the vapor lock

5/5

Having a carb conversion (with an EFI removed) allowed me to eliminate the vapor lock on my Trooper. Ideally, you want the return port at the 12 o'clock position so that it is as close to the carb as possible.
