I'm guessing your commenting on the pressure line to the tank??
I have never ran a filter there and never had an issue.
There are all these theories behind filtering the gas entering the tank and most of all the theory of cooling the gas as it enters the tank. After long long long testing i have not been able to come to a conclusion on differences.
Basically -
Never had full go off or contaminate
Cooling the gas entering the tank we have never seen an advantage.
Les fuel tube or filters/coolers = less weight.

I think they have made it harder to remove the top deck. once those screws are removed the little threaded things fall out and are hard to get back in. during a race meet if you loose one your out!!
I look at it for hours. There is no other way to mount the top arm and save weight in that area.
There are many positives to the new design and how they have presented the kit.
lets see how it preforms on track.

I don't think the problem with the top arm mount is the crash and break.

W/ SS shocks, has anybody had any trouble loosening up the adjusting nut when you try to adjust the ride height? When I turn the ride height adjusting nut, whole shock body turns ending up loosening the shock cap. I've been grabbing the shock body with long nose plier when I adjust the height to prevent it but was wondering if there's any solution. My S411 also has SS shocks but it doesn't have that sort of problem. I believe over time, adjusting nut may loosen up but so far not. I applied some bearing oil on the rubber ring inside the nut but didn't help. Obviously I use much thicker shock springs in 747/748 than those in S411. That plays a factor too.
EDIT: I was referring to the adjusting nut, not the upper shock cap(in the first sentence).

Take the ring off of the shock body and clean it. You may have some debris stuck in the threads of the shock body and or ring. Maybe the O-ring in the adjustment collar has swollen from the oil. If the threads are damaged on the shock then you have to replace the shock body.

Usually when I rebuild my shocks, I'll bleed the shock and when it gets on the threads I screw it all the way up so oil gets on the adjusting nut for the reason you're speaking of. Then I make a mark, so I know what a full turn is, loosen it 5 full turns and clean whatever oil is left over. It hasn't failed me yet

Mine did as well new out of the kit. The O rings a a little tight. If you have the ride height adjust nut all the way to the top it tends to grab when new. They will loosen up. Also really tighten top cap. Another tip is to have the spring loose when adjusting the spring tension nut. sometimes the weight of the car on the spring can cause the o ring to grab.

I think Team C was talking about your numerous fuel filters on your 748...
