I've been running my rig sharing the OEM fuel filter with WO and #2, I have a few thousand miles on it and I can get my fuel temps in the 180F range in the dead of winter with no problems.
I'm looking at making some improvements to my system to increase longevity and reliability of the system as a whole. I'm seeing that many installers that are using the mechanical lift pumps still are replumbing the OEM fuel filter to be BEFORE the lift pump, vacuum side vs. pressure side. What is the reason for this? Pros and cons?
I'm thinking of maybe installing a separate heated filtration system for my wvo and moving my FSV into the engine compartment. I may also loop my return lines, but I seem to have an excess of heat with a Artic Fox, 36 plate FPHE and a VegTherm Mega.
Also what would be the harm of adding an electrical fuel pump pre mechanical and operating it via toggle switch to help with clearing air from the lines?
