Fuel Injector - fuel pump issues - Updated with notes and Pictures

I've wondered...and when I take a trip throw another country....if using this: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Coleman-Filter-Funnel/35235604 might work. Just pump the gas slowly throw this filter funnel.

If you have the time. I think the flow rate of that filter is tiny compared to a gas pump nozzle. And that filter should be very effective filtering dirt/debris, but isn't designed to filter water out. I've used similar filters for white gas and alcohol stoves in the past. They are really small. 3/8" dia nozzle. Imagine trying to fill your 6 gallon tank thru a 3/8" nozzle. Slowed slightly by the filter material.

I used to use these all the time when camping for my coleman stoves and lanterns! The flow rate at a gas pump is not as bad as one would think. I used them up until a couple of months ago when filling my lawnmower gas can at the pump and when I filled the mower tank. I converted to a LI-on battery lawn mower...but that's a different discussion...

First after repairs ride update - To start with, the Guglatech filter does take a second or 2 longer to fill the tank. The 2 fueling nozzles I used today both fit without any issues. The filter is actually a 2 layer system. The outer layer is like a very fine, very flexible plastic type screen and the inner one has more of a fabric feel and look to it. Did about 240 miles total today, 50/50 pavement & dirt. The oil is still clean looking, as it should be. For the tank, I averaged 51 mpg (gals used/miles). That included some slow off road dirt trails, very fast dirt roads and some canyon carving. As it stands, everything seems to be working perfectly. Oil level is the same now as it was when I first started the bike after the repairs. I'll take that as another good sign. Only time will tell.

I'm a little concerned about cutting the high pressure fuel line to the fuel rail to install an inline fuel filter. To me, that's tempting fate a bit more than I want to. Since the pump is in the tank, I don't see any other spot you could install a fuel filter. If this was a concern for my travels, I'd be more likely to install one of the in the fuel neck GUGLAtech filters.

There are plenty of auto filters made for high pressure.

As for the https://www.walmart.com/ip/Coleman-Filter-Funnel/35235604 when we'd ride in the desert I'd just carry a piece of chamois leather. Put it in a ziplock baggie and just don't store it with your clothing.

I'm not concerned about the filter. More the hose connections to it. I'm not a fan of hose clamps for that kind of pressure. Most use dedicated fittings on high pressure fuel filters.

NAPA has them. Can use the proper tool or pliers to crimp tight.
