Aeromotive Fuel Filter
Aeromotive AFS-222-PUR-I Inline Fuel Filter High-Performance Purple Anodized
Aeromotive Fuel Filters: Engineered for Maximum Flow with Minimum Restriction
When it comes to protecting a high-performance fuel system, filtration is not optional — it is the last line of defense between dirty fuel and expensive injectors, carburetors, and fuel pumps. Aeromotive has built its reputation on fuel system components that refuse to compromise, and their lineup of fuel filters exemplifies that philosophy with precision-machined housings, thoughtfully chosen filter media, and flow ratings that match even the most demanding power levels.
Three Filter Series to Match Every Build
Aeromotive organizes its fuel filter offerings across a spectrum of product lines, each targeting specific power levels, fuel types, and installation environments. The classic inline billet filters — available in iconic red or black anodized finishes — are CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum for a corrosion-resistant, show-quality appearance. The Pro-Series line steps things up with a hard-coat black anodized finish and ORB port configurations ranging from AN-08 through AN-12, while the Extreme Flow series is engineered for the highest-demand applications, supporting up to 32-GPM mechanical and brushless gear pumps with AN-16 ORB ports.
Micron Ratings Matched to System Position
Aeromotive takes a systems-thinking approach to filtration by offering filters in distinct micron ratings, each designed for a specific position in the fuel circuit. The 100-micron stainless steel mesh (coarse) cleanable element is intended for placement between the fuel tank and the fuel pump to protect the pump itself. The 10-micron fine elements — available in cellulose/fabric or Microglass media — are positioned after the pump to safeguard injectors and carburetors from smaller particulates. A 40-micron stainless steel cleanable element is also available, specifically engineered to handle the destructive properties of alcohol-based fuels including ethanol and methanol. For the broadest compatibility, Aeromotive's Microglass 10-micron element is rated for gasoline, alcohol, methanol, ethanol, and diesel applications alike.
Flow Numbers That Don't Compromise Power
What separates Aeromotive filters from budget alternatives is the hard engineering data behind every design. Standard inline assemblies deliver up to 2,000 lb/hr fuel flow with a pressure drop of less than 1 PSI — numbers that support builds from 200 HP street cars all the way to 3,000 HP race engines. The Extreme Flow series pushes further still, flowing up to 9,000 lb/hr at under 2 PSI pressure drop and up to 12,000 lb/hr at under 3 PSI, making them a suitable post-filter for the largest 32-GPM pump configurations available. All housing assemblies feature O-ring seals for positive, leak-free sealing in high-pressure applications.
Replaceable Elements and Serviceability
Aeromotive fuel filter housings are designed for long service life through user-replaceable filter elements. Whether you are running a fabric cellulose element for gasoline-only applications or a Microglass element for E85 and methanol compatibility, swapping to a fresh element keeps restriction low without requiring a full housing replacement. This serviceability makes Aeromotive filters a smart long-term investment for any performance build.
Whether you are building a street/strip muscle car, a dedicated drag racer, or a turbocharged endurance build, Aeromotive's fuel filter lineup — backed by the full depth of the Aeromotive brand — offers the right combination of filtration precision, material quality, and flow capacity to keep your fuel system clean and your engine protected.
