Fuel Filter

[vr355stroker]

Well...just done a service on my clubby and went to look for the fuel filter but couldn't find it,so off to google and found it ....it's in the tank!!:doh: now I'm all for changing the filter but to pull the pump out of the tank I'm now feeling not to keen....but I want it done!!

My ??? is,who has done it themselves and how long and difficult was it?

They are good for 200,000km before they need changing I haven't done one yet but when u do change it you will have to change the o ring that holds the unit in the tank

Exhaust off
Tailshaft Off
Drop the Tank

have a look under the rear seat on the drivers side if there is a removable round plate there then just brake the sealer around it and then u will see the pump, then unplug loom and fuel hose then just get a hammer and punch and turn the locking nut on the pump assembly, them it pops out watch for the sender arm and there is a pipe fitted to the bottom just unclip that once out, them dismantle the pump module to get to the filter, mine was all black after 30k so worth a check, also if u don't have the opening under the seat then u have to drop the tank... to get the seat out just pull up on the front and it will un clip

THanks all :spot on: just the info I needed...

I've seen a manual type drawing of the pump an tank and was under the impression it was accessed through the back seat aswell??
but if I have ta drop the tailshaft an exhaust,then that really turns it into a lengthy job(3 or 4 beers)...
