Anybody running Radium Fuel Filter and FPR?

[duracellttu]

Looking for members’ experience with running this kit. Any advice is appreciated. PFA

I have the fuel filter only. No issues.. it requires a few more steps than if you were replacing it with a oem style filter but nothing complicated. They provide instructions.

I have complete setup,
the only issue I ran into was the pressure gauge was touching the filter so it couldn't be threaded on had to use a fitting to set fuel pressure.
Otherwise I like it.

I’m currently running their fuel rail, fpr, and fuel filter. I love that it has the ability to run an oem connection, as well as 6an fittings

i wouldnt hesitate to buy again if I planned on installing it on my NA M3 (but that car doesn’t see the light of day)

I have this kit on an E39, works as designed. The FPR is not as "protected" on an E39 so we elected to remove the gauge after everything was setup and operational.

Thanks for the feedback everybody.

Can you explain the process on how you adjusted the fuel pressure regulator before first startup? I need to get it dialed in to 3 bar for my 550cc injectors. Did you just prime the pump with turning the key into second position until you got up to full pressure and tweak from there?

Also did you use this stuff on every adapter joint?

There are a couple ways to go about it, but what I would do is prime the system so the lines are "full" and check the gauge. I don't know how little fuel pressure it'll take to run but I bet its not much. Fire the car and let it idle, with it idling adjust the fuel pressure to whatever pressure you want.

Thanks! That process is in line with what I was thinking. Also, the link to the connection types and how they seal is extremely helpful!

[duracellttu]

For those running the Radium FPR, do you recall the larger adapter on the left not seating flush when tightened? The seal is exposed and it's torqued pretty good.

I reached out to Radium. Looks like they didnt cut the threads deep enough on this part. Returning for a replacement.
