The fitting required for this is an M14 x 1.5 to M12 x 1.25 male union.  I'm struggling to find such a beast online.  

I've done a similar mod on my Shogun but placed the filter under the car at the front of the fuel tank.  I disconnected the standard plastic pipe that runs on top of the tank to the engine bay and replaced it with high pressure fuel hose and added the filter to this part before reconnecting to the stock metal fuel line before it goes into the engine bay.

I used a generic fuel filter though, not a mitsubishi spec one as in this mod.  Possibly the generic filter wasn't up to spec and caused my in tank fuel pump to fail.  

I'm a bit concerned about the placement of the filter in this mod, I'd be worried about the weight of the filter on the metal fuel line causing it to fail.  I know it is a bit of a paranoid thought but I've seen lines snap due extra stress being put on them.  Plus the location of the filter to the exhaust manifold adds to my worries.

The 2003 Shogun does have a fuel filter in the tank though. So any mods are adding a second filter.

i think the best way to do it is remove the original pump in the tank and it,s t bag filter,and replace with a walbro pump and it,s sock the sock has finer holes to the mitsy one which will stop any *beep* getting through..

Resurecting an old thread.

So after all this time, what are your reviews of adding the filters and the walbro pump?

Asking cause i might go the petrol way and need to know all the pitfalls before i get rid of my lovely diesel beast. Its a blister fender GDI
