Fitted a spare brand new walbro 255 filter I had laying about that was meant to be fitted to my old skyline.

used the whole kit including the brand new filter sock that sits on bottom of fuel pump. Done this as my pump has done 135k miles so old sock filter isn’t looking to good these days

the new sock filter I’ve used is however considerably smaller, more then half the size. Is this going to be an issue? Should I go to all the effort change to the standard pump filter?

thanks guys

 

The original sock would probably of been better. The oem sock is angled so it sits further down in the tank to control fuel surge, plus it's twice the size

 

Is it Worth me changing it over then or now the jobs already done just leave it as it is with the walbro sock

 

Personally if I had the original sock it would be on it.

 

Looks Pretty well used at 135k miles tho?

 

They don't look much better than that new. Give it a shake about in some fresh fuel and get it back on. If you look at the angle of the connection you'll see what I mean. The plastic frame on the base is to stop it sucking flat

 

Yeah I can see how much lower it would sit, didn’t really pay much attention when removing. I’ll get it swapped back this week

 

 

Dom knows the part number for a new sock

 

Who’s dom? Anywhere they sell online?
