Replacement filter # for MuscleMerc's 3" fuel filter

[Logizyme]

Does anyone have a part number or make/model for a service replacement filter for MuscleMerc's 3" fuel filter upgrade?


Did a quick search and turned up nothing, sorry if I missed it.

I will have to see if I can find it when I get home from work, it's a big maybe though. Hopefully some one chimes in with it.

I use Motorcraft – FG800A. It's a larger canister than stock.

I don't have the MuscleMerc mod but this one installs in place of the stock filter, uses the same clips. NAPA - FILNCK11 – qty. 10 fuel filter clips, if you need new clips. You need to bend the stock mounting bracket out and use a large worm-style clamp to secure the bigger filter.

Not sure but I think the replacement filter for the Musclemerc upgrade is Hastings GF270.

The Motorcraft FG800A is almost identical to Hastings GF270.

Have also been using the FG800A for several years

I was researching the catch cans, and it appears most of the threads are from 4 to 6 years ago, and the MuscleMerc can long gone. Also a couple of the other one's go to dead links. What is the consensus nowadays for Catch Cans, specifically with the Trilogy setup.

If you need one let me know.

I have a catch can too.

The big fuel filters? Stock for '93 Merc Always worked for me.

Draft42 design is the best one out there, just had one put on the passenger side while getting my trilogy ported...They are pricey

For some reason I thought you had a Trilogy, Jim... :confused:

Thanks for the pic.

Hoping to see a pic of a Draft42 on a Trilogy car.

I don't have a final pic yet as we are changing the intercooler tank from the stock one to a larger unit which means moving the catch can slightly. I changed out the plastic cobra tank to a canton racing aluminum one same size and I need to go bigger tank, just doesn't hold enough with 17 psi and a killer chiller.


this is the draft42 I have

Look at Darren's for sale thread, couple of pics of catch can mounted. HIs is a twin screw trilogy, but no changes other than blower itself. His mounts are custom made..They come with two premade mounts to possibly use.

A thread I made several years ago about the MuscleMerc Fuel Filter
https://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=78206

I don't remember which filter I went with (part number) but I did double flare the ends to ensure it stayed put with a single hose clamp on each side.

Hey Birdman! Long time no see!
