just an observation, why is the fuel filter by the pump, is it possible to just put it in the engine bay, or is there a reason for it to stay original, just a pain to get too....much easier if by firewall area..like nissan and toyota.....

the closer to the source the better the flow throuout the fuel line. Im pretty sure, not 100% positive, that nissan and toyota ahve a filter out by the tank.

its actually really easy to get to where it is. you dont even have to jack the car up. the fcs have it in the engine bay but its easier to short your wrench out on the +battery cable and set it on fire.

speaking from experience? LOL arc welding using a wrench and a battery is cool, I hear honda guys do it for major HP increase!
