The EVIL ENERGY Inline Fuel Filter is a universal, serviceable filter for custom AN fuel lines. A stainless steel element, aluminum housing, 6AN, 8AN and 10AN adapters, and four micron ratings let one universal inline fuel filter fit different filter stages in carbureted and fuel-injected systems. NOT compatible with E85 fuel.
What Does an Inline Fuel Filter Do?
Protects the Fuel System from Costly Damage
An in line fuel filter installs directly in the fuel line to trap rust, scale and debris before they reach the pump, injectors or carburetor. Unlike cheap plastic filters, this metal inline fuel filter pairs an aluminum fuel filter housing that withstands vibration and corrosion with a stainless steel fuel filter element that can be removed and cleaned.
Which Micron Inline Fuel Filter Do You Need?
Start with where the filter will sit in the fuel system. Finer filters belong after the pump, and coarser filters belong before it.
| 10 Micron |
Fuel Injection, After the PumpThe fine filter stage for gasoline EFI, between the fuel pump and fuel rail.
|
| 30 Micron |
Carburetor, After the PumpA finer choice for carbureted fuel lines between the pump and carburetor or regulator.
|
| 40 Micron |
Carburetor, After the PumpA 40 micron fuel filter gives a carbureted fuel line a coarser post-pump stage with more margin against restriction.
|
| 100 Micron |
Before the PumpThe coarse pre-filter stage between the tank and an external fuel pump.

Which AN Fuel Filter Adapter Fits Your Fuel Line?
6AN, 8AN or 10AN
This AN fuel filter includes two of each adapter, so the inlet and outlet can match the same line size or step between sizes.
6AN fuel filter setups (9/16-18 UNF) are common on street builds, while 8AN fuel filter (3/4-16 UNF) and 10AN fuel filter (7/8-14 UNF) setups suit larger custom lines. Many builders keep the pump inlet side larger to avoid restriction.
How to Install and Service an Inline Fuel Filter
Inline Fuel Filter Flow Direction
Flow direction matters. Install the filter with the arrow pointing toward the carburetor or fuel rail, or toward the pump inlet when it serves as a pre-filter.
High-Grade O-Ring Seal
Each fitting uses an O-ring for a leak-proof connection. Keep the seats clean, do not use thread sealant or PTFE tape on AN or ORB connections, and check for leaks before starting the engine.
Reusable Stainless Steel Element
The stainless element can be cleaned and reused. Clean or replace it every 2,500 miles, and sooner with an old tank or dirty fuel.
Element Orientation
After cleaning, make sure the closed end of the element docks with the spring. The filter arrives pre-assembled correctly.
Where Does an External Fuel Filter Go?
On an electric pump system, the layout runs from fuel tank to 100 micron filter, fuel pump, then fine filter. An external fuel filter should stay away from exhaust heat and moving parts, with room to open the housing. An all-in-one 10 micron fuel filter kit adds a spare element and barb adapters. For an E85 build, choose the E85 fuel filter and PTFE line kit.
Who Uses These Inline Fuel Filters?

Classic Car Restorations
Older Tanks and New Lines
An inline fuel filter between the pump and carburetor catches rust and debris from an older tank or newly built line.
Performance Engines
Upgraded AN Fuel Systems
AN adapters and four micron options suit custom plumbing on swaps and high-output builds.
Diesel Trucks
Added Particle Protection
Use this filter for added particle protection, while keeping the water separator and any required factory fine filter.
Marine and Agricultural
Check the Application First
Confirm hose, fittings and fuel flow for the machine. Gasoline boats also need parts that meet US Coast Guard fuel system rules.
