Fuel Filter Element 5in 6 Micron Fiberglass

The Fuel Filter Element 5in 6 Micron Fiberglass from FUELAB FUEL SYSTEMS is engineered for serious fuel system builders and performance enthusiasts who demand superior filtration in high-flow applications. This replacement element serves as the core filtration component in FUELAB's modular fuel filter housings, protecting fuel injectors, carburetors, and precision fuel delivery systems from particulate contamination. Whether you're running a naturally aspirated engine or a turbocharged setup, maintaining clean fuel is non-negotiable for reliability and longevity.

The 6-micron fiberglass filtration media is specifically designed to trap fuel system contaminants—rust particles, pipe scale, and manufacturing debris—while maintaining minimal pressure drop across the element. At 5 inches in length with a compact 2.1 x 2.05-inch profile, this element balances filtering surface area with space efficiency in tight engine bay installations. The microglass construction offers superior dirt-holding capacity compared to paper elements alone, extending service intervals and reducing the frequency of filter changes in street and race applications alike.

Mechanics and fuel system specialists choose this FUELAB element for EFI conversions, carbureted restorations, and custom fuel system builds where OEM filters fall short. The element's compatibility with FUELAB filter housings—including in-tank and external configurations—makes it ideal for street rods, race cars, and modified daily drivers. Lightweight at just 0.29 lbs, installation requires only basic tool access to the filter housing; no special equipment needed. Replace annually or when fuel pressure begins to drop to ensure consistent pump performance and fuel quality.
