The only reason I mentioned it is because I asked Andy the question a few weeks back as I have always used the paper filters without any issues, but I have a metal filter that I was going to use and Andy explained that he had seen problems with them before but not with the paper ones. It may have been a one off but I wasnt prepared to take the chance so replaced the filter with a new paper one.

Won't matter if you have a pressure gauge fitted, as any reduction in flow will cause the supply pressure to drop....
IMHO
dunx
P.S. Time I checked mine !

dunx, poifect. iv got a pressure gauge for fueling to keep an eye on things.
trails - cage isnt mine mate its andyh's, gonna be removable i think..its a pain gettin it in and weve not even got the rear bars on yet haha! theyre gonna go to the rear struts overhead so still allowing passengers...in theory. If i go caged il be having a cusco bolt in with a custom harness bar on but i dont wana add anymore weight yet.

Arch, i changed virtually every element of my fuel system in 2007 when we had lean running issues, only thing i didnt change was the fuel lines (-6 braided lines throughout). Last thing to change was the paper filters, and it cured the problem there and then.
Never had an issue there after, except for the odd occasion on the dyno of fuel pressure dropping, which was down to several runs on the dyno whilst on empty, and the fuel swirl pot being very hot to touch. So heat was the problem, as the next day on track, FP was spot on!

Never had an issue with the paper ones so far but I do change them often and I am not flowing anything like the fuel you guys are but I would like to as soon as possible Think its definately one of those scenarios where one mans sugar is another mans sh**e so to speak
