Fuel hose

[Ed Miller]

I have some of this "generic" stuff as well but aircraftspruce.com carries that marketed by Bing.  I've been doing a comparo between them and so far I can't tell any difference.  Get the 1/4" and no clamps required...

Is it difficult to slip on?  I don't use hose clamps on the 7 mm black braided line I use.

No, Ed, "spit and slip"!

Well, this is an old one!

However, I only today finally got around to fitting the "3 o'clock" tap to my tank. The other main difference with this tap is that the copper gauze filter is larger and fits inside the tank, rather than the little one that sat just below the tap in the old one.

When I was renewing the inline filter I cut open the old one to see how it looked. So it did its job and stooped a lot of little flakes from getting to the carbs, (see attached).

Hi there:

quick question: is your tank outlet on the right side of the bike? mine is on the left side... I didn´t know it could change... that´s important!!

Regards,
fdo.

Hi fdo, no my tank outlet is on the left also, I am just thinking of changing the tap to the type R65 Mark has in this pic, much better for the inline filter set up

I use  these filters on all of my carbureted bikes .

I like to be able to see the filter media .

Helped me trouble shoot a carb problem on my '82 LS .

I installed new fuel line in November, what I didn't know, is that it was vacuum line that was mislabeled , it started coming apart and clogging the idle jets !!!!!!!

I saw that the filter had black residue on it, if not for the clear filter, I may have done a lot of work for nothing .
