do you think this would do proper filtering?

Generic Chinese garbage, yummy-yum-yum. See if the seller will combine shipping on a good-quality fire extinguisher.

What are you trying to accomplish...? You're wanting something other than a stock-type fuel filter because why? And what is your car/engine configuration?

Don't need that much.........


Get a remote oil filter mount (same thing as in link you gave) and just use an oil filter............ (same on as engine)

I did this after I got the car because I was too lazy to drop the tank to get rid of the rust buildup that was filling up the stock size filter.

I'd be more cozy with a purpose made spin on type fuel filter (vs an oil filter) with today's fuels.

I think a quality (wix) stock type would suit you fine though if you wanted to avoid the spin on stuff.

Yikes. Do not use an oil filter as a fuel filter! Use a fuel filter as a fuel filter. Why not just do as shown in the Fuel line mod ? You really don't need a giant fuel filter. All you need is a good quality metal one, properly placed, and a fuel system in decent condition. Putting a really big fuel filter (spin-on or otherwise) under the hood is a very unwise idea. Not only will it make life hard for the fuel pump, but it will also be a large, uncrashworthy tankard of highly flammable gasoline under the hood. You do not want to be spending months in the mirrorless burn ward thinking to yourself "I was too lazy to fix the car properly".
