Fuel Filter Replacement

Question for Fix My Hog I have the Touring Edition DVD for Twin Cam 88, great product. The DVD has been extremely helpful. Did you produce a video for replacing the Harley fuel filter on EFI models? I have a 2005 Road King with 20K miles and the factory manual isn’t very straightforward on the procedure for fuel filter replacement. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks, Mike

Fix My Hog Answers Mike, There is not the standard fuel filter on this system there is a fuel sock over the end of the fuel pump inside the tank. You have to be very careful and quite tricky to replace this item. That’s why the manual is so vague. As long as you use good quality fuel and don’t allow any excess debris to enter the tank this sock style system runs well past 100,000 miles without problems. Don’t look for trouble – let it look for you.

    I have purchased the video for a fuel pump replacement but true to form the guys at fix my hog have only filmed the replacement of the easy to access version, and make no mention of the sock type on the efi models. Even when asked they say don’t touch it as they last 100000 miles. Are these videos just easy topics for people who don’t even know what tools may be required?? I’ve just wasted money on instructional videos for people who shouldn’t touch tools!!!
