Default Non OE Fuel Filters

Hi all,

I'm collecting bits to revamp my fuel setup.

One part that I'm not sure about is the fuel filter. I would like to change the OE filter for one that I can fit anodised fittings to so it all matches (I'm a bit weird like that).

In particular, I'm looking at the Fuelab filter:



Has anybody any experience with these filters?

Are they suitable?

Any problems associated with non OE filters?

Many thanks
Ross

No, I bought a smaller, cheaper item for the exact same reason, after a year I'll dismantle it and see how bad it is, if it is clogged then I may get a larger one like the above !

P.S. Defi will show if pressure drops so fingers crossed.
