Advice for remote fuel filter and location

[SeaVee]

So, we’re close to dropping the body back on and are tying up some loose ends. I’ve had the poly tank professionally cleaned and it looks good in there. Still want to have an inline fuel filter for the main tank. Ideally, one with a replaceable filter element that’s easily accessible. Any suggestions on a filter and a good accessible location? Pic of frame below. TIA for any advice

I ran steel lines up the passenger side (for EFI), mounted the fuel pump on the front of the rear crossmember and filter just in front of the rear crossmember on the passenger side. If I was frame-off, I would run steel on top of the frame rail!

I use marine spin-on canister filters on all my trucks. With a 10-micron element, and the fact that they are water-separating filters by design, means no fuel issues.

You can buy them black powder coated aluminum (like below) or with a cast stainless filter head instead.

Of course all my powerboats have the same filter...so I buy the elements in 6-packs. LOL

Dittos on what BMC69 says. Did this to mine years ago. Mounted on frame inside rail. Bonus to these are you can get them with water separation too.

Never thought of that since all my outboards were large displacement and use big spin on’s. Didn’t think to look for smaller ones. Thanks guys!

I presume you are doing a stock(ish) rebuild with a carb? Or are you doing EFI?

My go to fuel filter these days is the late 80's GM EFI filter. High pressure rated, very small 2 micron filtration, will flow enough fuel for anything I will be running. No issue supporting over 400HP (calloway, Grand nationals, etc.)
Get replacment filters at any parts store. The O-ring adaptors are easy to come by these days.

Correct- carburetor with 302, keeping everything original

I can't find the part number for the line adapters I used at the moment.
