Fuel the Fire, or Stay the Filter?

Couldn't you just remove or hollow out the factory tank filter and add an external one in the fuel line? Why is a new pump necessary for a naturally aspirated engine?

 

You can certainly remove the filter and then add an external one. You just need all of the proper components to complete that swap, just like upgrading the fuel pump.

For most with a 100k + miles, it is good to upgrade to a newer better pump. Brushes wear. Pumps fail.

For boost, the reason is obvious.

 

Newest addition to Lucario Runner's fuel system.

 

Looks great! Hard to tell but is that protected by the frame rail?

 

It sure is. As well as that 3/8" plate added a teeny reinforcement to the frame.

 

Its outta the way and would most likely clear skids if one had one. I dont cause this is my daily.

 

Also, on the Hilux, their interval is between ~60k - 80k kilometers.

Is there a build thread for this FST spin-on setup anywhere on TW, with a parts list?

 

Pretty much in @Lucario Runner 's PreRunner build thread. He laid out what all parts he used.

In my build thread, I bolted mine to the frame, as I didn't have a welder at the time. Where with his, I welded a plate to the frame.
