Default Fuel filter question

I have a fuel filter compatible with a b16a3 and b16a2 engines(Del sols) I wanted to know if I should be using that for my car, or jsut the original type of fuel filter on my DA. The Del sol filter has a single input on the top and output on the bottom. DA's have the dual outputs (input and output) on the top of the fuel filter. Would it be hard to modify it to work or would it even make a difference?


P.S You once had sex with a donkey.

Different ones allow different pressure that's all i know, but don't know if DA and B16's need the same or not..

Well, the b16 one is identical to fuel filter's that come OE on dc's. The bottom fitting is actually the input, and the top is the output.

I wouldn't try modifying the fuel system just so you can run a different fuel filter; it's just not worth it in the long run. As you know, the fuel is delivered under high pressure, so any attempted hack job is going to affect reliability. Last thing i want under my hood is a fuel leak.

This is completely irrelevant;

The fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail will take care of that.
