phil34 New Member 4 Member For: 4y 5m 8d Posted 13/08/20 03:30 AM Share Posted 13/08/20 03:30 AM I 've recently tried fitting a walbro 450 fuel pump, and found that the strainer provided is too big for the falcon fuel pump module. is there a strainer available that others have found to be a better fit. don't really want to install it without one.

phil34 New Member 4 Member For: 4y 5m 8d Posted 13/08/20 03:49 AM Author Share Posted 13/08/20 03:49 AM yep. that's the one. it does fit in if I squash it in and it makes it very tight to re-assemble. I was just hoping that being such a common conversion someone may have found a strainer that was better suited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also found after searching that raceworks sells the correct plastic fuel tubing to use on the pump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
