#8 Fuel Filter W/Screen

The #8 Fuel Filter W/Screen by EARLS is a high-performance in-line fuel filtration solution designed for street, strip, and custom automotive builds where fuel purity directly impacts engine reliability and carburetor or injector longevity. This compact stainless steel unit mounts between your fuel tank and carburetor or fuel rail, trapping particulates and debris before they reach your fuel delivery system. Whether you're running a carbureted classic, a turbocharged street machine, or a precision fuel-injected engine, this filter protects critical fuel system components from contamination that can cause stumbling, lean conditions, or complete fuel starvation under boost or sustained high RPM.

Built from aluminum with a blue anodized finish, the #8 Fuel Filter W/Screen features an 85-micron stainless steel element that provides excellent flow while blocking particles that would otherwise damage fuel pumps, injectors, or carb jets. The #8 AN (AN8) male inlets and outlets deliver SAE-standard thread connections, ensuring compatibility with fuel line fittings throughout the performance aftermarket—a critical consideration for modified fuel systems operating at elevated pressures. The compact 2.95 × 1.25 × 3.55 inch footprint allows installation in tight engine bays or behind bumpers without requiring complex rerouting, and the lightweight 0.13 lb design adds negligible mass to your fuel system plumbing.

Mechanics and engine builders prefer EARLS filters in professional restorations, fuel system upgrades, and competition builds where fuel consistency is non-negotiable. The #8 configuration works equally well in gravity-feed applications and high-pressure EFI systems, making it ideal for retrofit projects, carb-to-injection conversions, and turbocharged platforms where fuel system reliability determines boost capability and longevity. Installation requires only standard AN wrenches and fuel-safe hose—no special tools or modifications needed. When paired with quality fuel line and a compatible pump, this filter becomes the foundation of a bulletproof fuel delivery system.
