Replacing Fuel Filter on EFI Road King 2005

(1/4) > >>

skreminegul07:
I'm getting ready to replace the fuel filter for a buddy.  Its a 2005 FLHRI.  Are there any tricks or gotchas?  The manual says to drain the tank, I do not think that necessary.  I do intend to relieve the pressure in the lines.  Also, what comes in the fuel filter kit?  short Nylon line and clamps?

From what I read, the canopy gasket and the ten sealing screws will be required.  Anything else?

Thanks

I would consider renewing the line from the tank to filter on 7 year old bike known to get pin holes. I always warm the plastic hoses with a hair drier to soften make it much easier to apply. You will need one additional clamp.

Your going to want to drain the tank.  It will be a mess otherwise.  I agree with hdbrad03 that it's a good idea to replace the internal fuel lines while you're in there.

The only trick is unhinging the bracket that allows you to pull the guts out of the tank.  Neal can explain how it works, as he just did it a week or so ago...   ::)     http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=73504.msg1012186#msg1012186

And be sure to use a new gasket and new mounting screws when re-assembling the canopy...

As far as draining the tank.... Several years ago, I tried lifting the tank on my SERK and broke the plastic fitting and had to by the whole assembly.  I saved the original thinking it could be used to drain the tank.  If I plug the extra line into the tank and turn the key on to run, will the pump empty the tank if it never comes up to pressure?  This would be a simple task then.
Maybe I should invite Neal over for a few beers and advice.
I'll get the internal plastic line as well.
