Hi guys, what have people done to relocate the fuel filter to an easier accessible place? Cheers!

Did you have to mess about with the fuel lines?

20min job imo. Takes longer to safely get it in the air. The 4 peice 12" plier set with hose pliers make it a doddle.

GOOD because I just bought a set haha

I ran new hose.

My thoughts were if I start to premix, it'll need to be changed more frequently.

Doing the job on your back, on axle stands isn't exactly a fun job (not even in the slightest), so just made life easier for the future.

Premix ruins filters???????

Supposedly it can swell the paper filters.

I bought a Radium stainless steel filter, currently mounted in the engine bay but will move it to the rear subframe.

Appreciate the replies fellas!

Apologies for the thread bump. Can anyone confirm what diameter the stock rubber fuel line is please?

Thanks
