They come with AN-6 fittings on each end, Summit p/n EAR-230106ERL. They have replacable elements, and they cost about $30 each. Unfortunately, I now find that they are only rated at 75 psi, and the pump will put out 95 psi. Looks like I need to look at the GM filters also. If you find not so good information in the Wiki, you are totally empowered to change it. :) Bob W.

I did a wiki search (fuel filter, fuel system) and turned up some good info and some not so good info. I am using dual GM fuel filters on my 3-rotor installation and they do require a Saginaw to AN-6 adapter. A regular metric fitting doesn't have the o-ring on end, which is required when using the GM filters. Using fuel system sealer may work, but will most likely leak, sooner or later. The male Saginaw fitting has an o-ring that seats against a flat in the bottom of the female fuel filter fitting. Just trying to keep you from ordering the wrong part. Sorry, I don't remember where I bought my Saginaw to AN6 fittings. I bet Ed remembers. > > Mark S. > -- http://www.bob-white.com N93BD - Rotary Powered BD-4 (real soon)
