Fuel filter installation

13 Sep 2014 18:04

Hi all, so I want to take the advice from everyone here and install an in line fuel filter. The thing is there is very little room under the tank. Does anyone have a picture of how you routed the hose filter assy to overcome this? Just not a lot of space between the carbs and tank. Thanks, Keith

Get yourself a small bike specific filter, the type found in car accessory shops are
too bulky I find.

Here's what I use. It not only filters great it also fits great - Golan Super-Mini (see 70-312G 5/16 Barbed Fittings in link) on mine. Take a look at the link below. It shows not just the filter but also the 90 degree elbow I use to prevent kinks and make a tidy fit between carbs and tank, clamps, and fuel line. Ed

I use the Visu-Fuel filters. Very compact and high flow rate.
