Description

Finding the Sportster fuel filter location and going through the replacement process are made easy in this video. Steve shows us the Sportster fuel filter location and replaces the fuel filter and pick-up screen. This one is located inside the tank on this 2012 Sportster Iron XL883N. There are a few key points that are important to know for the filter removal and reinstallation, but all of these are covered in the video in a step-by-step instruction. The task of Sportster fuel filter location requires gas tank removal and a clean workspace that prevents damaging of the tank’s paint. Siphon fuel from the fuel tank and remove the fuel tank.

Replacing the fuel filter should be part of the regular maintenance you do on your bike, especially as the mileage gets higher, because you never know the cleanliness of the fuel you are getting from a gas station, especially when traveling. This is a fairly simple task that can be performed with basic tools in one’s garage. This is the same procedure for all fuel-injected sportsters, 883 and 1200, even if they have a different-shaped tank.
