I have a new Volcano SV. I saw a recommendation to install a fuel filter in the setup videos. Any specific type / model of fuel filter that I need or just get whatever I can find on ebay / local hobby store?
My recomendation is to NOTGETONE. They cause more problems than they help. If they start getting fuel gum build up they will start running the engine lean and burn it up same happens if they get a little bit of trash in them. It's one more place to have the possibility of an air leak. I've had more people with fuel filter problemthan I care to count come into our shop with problems of not starting, running lean, leaking air bubbles and etc..... just to end up paying us $15 labor to take 2 seconds to pull off the fuel filter put on a new fuel line and bam it runs fine. If you keep your fuel tank clean and keep the fuel bottle nozzle clean you won't have trash in your tank.
