Fuel filter on CBX

[nzspokes]

I cant see a fuel filter on my CBX250RS. Guess theres an in tank one. Is it a good idea to fit an inline one? I want to replace the hose anyway so seems like a good time. If I do, who does a decent looking one thats not huge like a car one?

You can get a inline filter for a under a 5 and couple of bucks for fuel line.......there is a filter inside the tank on the fuel tap,just remove the fuel tap and cheak the condition of that filter,and you will proberly have a o-ring or gasket between the tap and tank be good idea too replace it if you can,

dogsnbikes summed it up. Will add....not using an inline filter on a bike with a 20 year old tank is pretty risky.....its gona rust.

That was exactly my thoughts which is why I want to do it. Not much hose there so will have to be a small one.

use more hose and make a loop..............if you don't have a right angle filter

They do actually make r/a filters. Many a bike has been stopped by a kinked line due to a filter. A loop is possibly going to cause an issue if there isn't much fall to the carb esp on low tank.

Sadly rusty tanks will have silt in them that will still get through any filter. The filter will take out the thick stuff. this slit builds up eventually blocks teh jets. But you will see it int he bottom of your carb if its an issue. Then search on tank sealer.

So where is the best place to look at filters? Repco? or bike shops?

AT YOUR PLACE ...

At the NEXT service ... ask for one to be fitted ...

And ... At that age of bike ... I MAY SUGGEST ... the tank be lined ...

Money WELL spent ...

I just sealed another tank two weeks ago and I know it will be cured proberly by the time i get home........I have herd people say they sealed the take and 48 hours after it was sealed it started leaking meaning they are putting the feul in too soon

[F5 Dave]

an old electrolux on blow left for 1/2 hr is a good way to promote drying as it blows luke warm air.

But how do you wire brush etc inside the tank? Or am I missing something.

My bike came with a spare tank. So will be easy to take my time. Ex wife ensures this bike has to last me so happy to do things right.

Your only wire brushing the outside around the holes,the inside is taken care of with the marine clean and metal treatment steps of your por15 tank kit.....
