Is there a 'How To' for an inline fuel filter? - Page 4

I find the best filter is the tube paper ones, auto stores carry them. Remember you need to filter better than the one already in the tank. If not then what is the purpose? That means that many of the "cleanable" ones, mesh, etc are no better than stock.

And the plastic see-through ones are better than the metal cans, so you can see what's going on inside of them. They won't melt unless right up against a hot engine block so they are very safe.

hey Jonathan. Nice install job on the fuel filter. Is it a 5/16 ID or 1/4. I just ordered a 5/16, same type as yours. It didn't come in yet but I bought a piece of 5/16 hose for a spare 'just in case'

Thanks.
That filter is actually installed on a Ninja 250 but the concept is the same for all bikes.
You know, a picture is worth 1000 words.
