NEW FST FilterShield™ for FST Fuel Filters
FST Fuel Filters are ideal for racing where exceptional filtering & extra capacity is needed, but sometimes it’s necessary to protect them from flying debris kicked up from under the vehicle. The FilterShield™ from FST simply slips onto FST fuel filters providing a compact, high temperature shield, especially suited for off-road competition. The FilterShield™ uses an exclusive volcanic rock fiberbased thermal barrier material that can withstand constant temperatures of 1200°F and intermittent temps up to 2000°F. Unique MagnaMount™ magnets tightly hold the heatshield in place & help trap metallic contaminants inside the filter. Also protects fuel from overheating due to ambient temperature and high heat exhaust. More Information: www.FSTPerformance.com 1-407-323-0122
