There is only one fuel filter which is inside the fuel tank. The instructions to change it are below.

Fuel Filter Replacement

The fuel filter should be replaced whenever the fuel pressure drops below the specified value, after making sure that the fuel pump and the fuel pressure regulator are okay.

1. Remove the fuel tank unit.
2. Remove the fuel filter (A).
3. Check these items before installing the fuel tank unit:
- When connecting the wire harness, make sure the connection is secure and the connectors (B) are firmly locked into place.
- When installing the fuel gauge sending unit (C), make sure the connection is secure and the connector is firmly locked into place. Be careful not to bend or twist it excessively.

4. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal with new O-rings (D). When installing the fuel tank unit, align the marks on the unit and the fuel tank.

Note: Coat the O-rings with clean engine oil; do not use any other oil.
