Fuel Filter

[kimo]

Can we install another fuel filter in the engine bay for more clean fuel. Thinking of small filter tube.

The fuel thru existing filter should be clean enough or are you offering to sell a filter kit for installation in the engine bay ?

Would be great if an alternative to the OEM filter replacement could be installed without having to remove the front passenger seat to get access to the insides of the tank with special tool for filter removal. Is it worth swapping an 80,000Km cycle for a 40,000km cycle? The Jazz's filter contraption is bulky & expensive.
The OEM part cost RM110(A$40; cost about A$120 in Oz??)
from a parts supplier in Ipoh. After market engine bay fuel filter cost about RM28(A$10).
Seems like incorporating an inline filter in the engine bay is an alternative but requires some work.
please... not too close to heat source and in case of accidents, the fuel lines are not going to rupture too easily...
Utilise Honda fittings from other models, .. some fiddling.
Kimo! Show us some photos and write up(not 2 lines only !!!) when you've done it.
ps. if u install an engine bay fuel filter, you'll have to discard the OEM filter, if it's clogged with sediments your fuel pump will pump itself to death. Then your costs will be alot more than a filter!
Have I put you off yet ?? Good luck.
