Can you use the standard mustang EFI filter with 3/8 inch EFI rubber fuel line? Before I go this route I wanted to ask the question. I don't know if a clamped 3/8 line on this filter will leak under pressure.

If I'm not mistaken, the standard EFI fuel filter is 5/16. You might have leaks.

I run 3/8 fuel hose slipped over the ends of the standard Ford EFI filter. Works fine and been running that way for 8? years now. never had a leak and have changed the filter as well.

Thanks

I'll use the non-perforated clamps and I should be good. Would you run a ford EFI before and after a single inline walbro pump?

Run the filter after the pump to catch any metal shavings caused by the pump wearing as it runs.
