Ok, so when I ordered my walboro "kit" from Hybrid Performance.. they at first sent me the s13 sock.
I didn't realize it at first 'cuz I hadn't installed the fuel pump until a really long time after I bought it. So I emailed them and told them I wanted to purchase the correct sock filter..
This is what they sent me.
These pictures are compared to the OEM filter.. its noticeably shorter
So my question is.. thinking about it.. The sock has to be completely submerged to work properly.. right?
Because the pick up itself is the only part that actually sucks in fuel, and if the sock is only partially submerged it should suck in air, right?
So then why didn't the s13 sock work in my car? I had gas.. at least another 20-25 miles (related to if I were using the stock pump/filter) *the s13 sock was 2" in length maybe? But there wasn't enough fuel in my tank for the s13 sock to pick up any fuel.
How will this sock change that given that it doesn't even extend the pick-up length?
I don't think its acceptable that it should change how much fuel I am able to use out of my tank.
Granted, I shouldn't run below 1/4 tank of gas anyway.. but its still a concern I'd rather not have.
Using the s13 filter.. I'll run out of gas before my gas warning light even comes on..
Any ideas? Thoughts? Comments?
Thanks guys.
