aux fuel filter

[rescuescrub]

could a inline fuel filter be installed in the fuel hose that passes along the left side of the bike? would this interfere to much with the flow of fuel. seems it would help with filtering. know is might sound dumb but just got my quad today and want to start working on it. not sure if there is one already or in the fuel tank...thnxs

Suzuki really has a bad fuel filter design on the LTR. All the stuff you have to remove to just get to the filter is not quick and easy. The factory replacement fiter is suggested to be changed ever six months. I have designed a more efficient, more heat resistant, easy accessable inline fuel filter setup. Alot of people have been going the cheap route and using an inline filter from places like autozone, and installing it on the factory rubber hose. With my design I avoided the possibility of leakes using hose clamps. I used ss/teflon hoses with AN swivel fittings and a 35 micron filter that features a replacement element that is a fraction of the cost of the factory replacement. The parts for my setup was an estimated $80, I did all the modifications myself. I chose the ss/teflon hose because of its durability, heat resistance, withstands dissipation from race fuels, and of course bling. The filter was chosen because I didn't want to take a chance allowing any dirt to pass through a cheap filter and damage the expensive LTR fuel system. I am not promoting or trying to sell this kit but want to share my design with other LTR owners. I can however make you a kit for $100 if you don't want to do it yourself. It would require shipping me your fuel pump and cock pit for the modifications. Enjoy and feel free to ask any questions.

Why not remove the fuel pump from the housing when drilling/ tapping?

[QUADSQUAD7]

once you remove the pump from the housing you do not gain access to an empty housing. Don't attemp to take the pump apart.

I have had the fuel pump apart several times. There is a screen in there that needs to be cleaned when changing the fuel filter. And before you start flaming me, I am a mechanic and this comes directly from Suzuki certified mechanics.

I too build motors but, I'll take your word on it, because I never acyually took it apart but when i talked to suzuki that is what they told me. I do know what screen u are talking about, its in one of my photos. I was wandering how if there was no access then how it would be changed. Thanks for the info.

Thanks. The 4 phillips screws on the top hold the fuel pump into the housing, it is an O-ring seal. When removed the fuel pump comes out as a unit. The fuel pump itself cannot be serviced. Doing this when drilling/tapping would eliminate any chance of getting shavings into the fuel system.
Also, the filter you saw in there is not actually a filter. More like a screen, which won't let water thru. It can't be removed but still needs to be cleaned.

Thanks alot, im in the process of making up a kit for a guy and will dissasimble the pump this time.
