John,
I have done the same thing using the 2 fuel filters supplied by the
kit. Did you install fuel line shutoffs to change filters or would you
just crimp the line like some others have done. I have used the better
fuel injector hose and it's very easy to crimp as it's much more
flexible but I'm still wondering if I should install those heavy
in-line shutoffs.
