So I just picked up a 2009 Ford Focus to use as a commuter car. As I do with any vehicle that I don't know the maintenance history, I went through and started replacing every filter and fluid I could find.
I get through the front half of the car and move to the fuel filter. I search and search and search.. can't find the thing. Come to find out I'm one of those lucky few with a "lifetime fuel filter."
Personally, I can't believe this [censored].
But I'm done belly aching about their mistakes and I would like to do something about it. Question is: what?
I would like to add a fuel filter to the car. There is a rubber line that comes out from the tank which I think I can tap into.
My concerns are:
1: PSI. What do I run that ensures I don't blow the filter out and having a time bomb on my hands?
2: Flow. I don't want to burn out my fuel pump by running something that doesn't flow enough.
I'm open to suggestions. I added a Wix filter/base to my diesel pickup, but it runs at no more than 18psi and has a very strong after market fuel pump.. both things I don't have with this car.
All opinions and suggestions are appreciated.
