Does anyone know of a kit or some other idea on adding a inline fuel filter to a CX7? As you know, the only filter is a sock on the fuel pump, in the tank. All cars have this, and most all until recently had an inline one to.

Is the fuel pressure real high right from the tank for the direct injection? This might be an issue in adding an inline filter. Or does the pressure get boosted up later on?

It has one in the tank.

The reason it does not have one in the engine bay is that it uses hard lines and extremely high pressure to force fuel into the cylinders and so any normal filter would blow out or leak if used.

You may be able to install one back by the tank before it gets to the high pressure pump.
