Just a quick note of caution. For those DIYers doing this job, if you elect to change the fuel hoses, submersible fuel hoses are not the same spec as conventional ones. Please ensure you are using the right type! Have a great weekend Del.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks for your input, have a great weekend buddy!

[@Goldwing1500rider]

I been wondering bout that !!

[@rickrogers2649]

I worked on gasoline and jet fuel tanker trucks back in the day. I saw pictures of what can go really wrong really quick in that line of work. Props to you Del on stressing safety on what seems like a simple routine job. Working safely keeps it a simple and routine job. Really impressed with the filter set up on the Triumph. Great tutorial as always Del. Many thanks to you and Miss Penny. God bless and be well always. ❤👍👍

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks for sharing your story Rick, it's always good to hear from you mate, have a great weekend and keep safe! D&Px

[@MrLiesAngeles]

Can I stress "Drain all the fuel first" everyone. Tried thinking I could with some gas inside. Spilled a good bit and ended up draining it all over me. Also I found lots of grit inside the tank and cleaned it with carb cleaner after. Replaced the fuel filter quite easily and the metal screen. Dolby's garage is entertaining and a great learning experience at the same time. Happy to like all his videos.

[@kieranmanners170]

I cant get over how they just use a scourer over the bag filter 😂

[@howder1951]

Yes a nice touch to get the gravel out, more importantly to diffuse the flow and slow the velocity down for filtration. Nice setup for maintenance!

[@chrisrag1346]

Nicely done Del...........................😂 Love the scouring pad! wonder what bright spark at Triumph thought that little fuel filter set up - up! dose seem a little bit of a fuff. my ol v-star is all external.

[@andyhutch8262]

While I was checking cam shims at 12000 miles, wont be so close to fuel filter for awhile, change it I did, am a big believer of fitting any genuine filter on my Triumph 865 bonnie, cost dosnt come into it, all went well, am glad I did the filter as the rubber seal was cracking in more than one place, it would have leaked I had no doubt there. A month went past, old fuel filter still laid on my work bench got better of me, did it need changing after all??? Cutting it apart, I am glad I changed it, the filter wasnt full of mig, but it was a very dark brown in colour......I changed it again at 20000 as I had petrol tank off, it was spotless when I cut it open, no sign of brown mig What so ever.

[@mrjleex]

Nice video Del. Glad to see you wearing gloves around the fluid jobs. Had a friend who didn't and he paid the ultimate price. I bugged you about this about 10 yrs ago. Thanks for all the how to vids. They are priceless.

[@binkytremain9726]

That’s next for me. Ever replaced the Bonneville fuel injectors? Looking for a video.

[@TheGreatestBeyonder]

OT but… do the fuel pumps ‘buzz’ at all on the Bonneville range? I’m not sure if my abs pump or fuel pump is creating this noise? 🤔 Another fine video, thanks (it could prove handy for me)! 👍🏻

[@tomaskrashevsky818]

It is interesting how easy it looks on the video :) I have some mechanical skills, been working a bit on cars and their engines and boat engines buy I always find any 'small and easy' job on a bike being a fiddly one. No, not difficult but awkward and delicate as well. But still, I like doing those on my bike every time :) Thank you for another quality 'How to' guide.

[@neillambton4065]

I was amazed at how much grit was inside that filter area. Do you think that`s just come from debris every time you open the tank cap allowing in FOD, or is the FOD in the fuel itself?.

[@Angel-rg9dh]

Hi! Love your videos, i have done my chain and sprockets, bleeding brakes... And more things thanks to you! The best on KZbin! I have a question, my kawasaki versys after a ride starts making some noise from the tank, It releases pressure from the petrol gasses generate, It whistles strong for a good 4 seconds, It can do It several times. As soon as i open the tank It sucks or releases Air/gas. I have checked two hoses on the left of the tank that lead to the ground and they aren't obstructed at all. I cant see where is the problem!

[@spetersonmusic]

Really surprised how much grit came off that smaller screen. Wow!

[@stephenalbright6961]

You should of cut open the inline filter to see how dirty it is

[@RoyZ84]

Wow that was easy! Time to replace my T100 fuel filter. Thanks Del!

[@tommylitchfield3450]

It's good that you reminded us all about draining the tank and being careful, as you can never be too careful around gasoline. Even someone as knowledgeable as Jay Leno can have bad things happen with that stuff. We got lucky that a fellow gas monkey is still with us. Thank goodness that Jay wasn't hurt even more than he was, and let's hope for a speedy recovery.

[@Moonfleet41]

Yes, sure thing mate, there but for the grace of god go all of us... it's easy to underestimate just how dangerous it can be working on motor vehicles... prayers for the big guy.

[@KasK6517]

Would love to see you do a video on fuel injectors removal on the Bonneville

[@rsbharley4766]

Excellent how to video Del & Penny. Job well done mate, looks like triumph have done a nice job with that filter set up. Hope you are both keeping well, have a great weekend. Cheers

[@Moonfleet41]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Have a great weekend yourself, enjoy the sunshine... we have some too!!

[@Butterfly07949]

As you may remember Del my late grandad worked for Supermarine in Southampton in the drawing office in the making of the Spitfire. Awesome service for what was going to take place in the battle of Britain. Managed to button down the engine today after three days of rain. Great video Del.

[@Moonfleet41]

What a wonderful story and claim to fame, you must be very proud. Have a blessed weekend there, D&Px

[@tshadow6]

What brand/model screwdriver did you use? I never saw a screwdriver adapted to a ratchet.

[@Planet_Wax]

Great Video as always Del. Was that mini torque wrench included in the toolkit in the link below this video? that's a nice piece of equipment. Thanks again for all your hard work. Cheers, Michael.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks mate... the torque wrench is a really top quality item, well worth it for smaller and more fragile fasteners ! Here's a link. www.spanner-monkey.co.uk/Wiha-Torque-T-Handle-ST-Plus-TorqueVario-Set-29234?search=wiha%20torque%20vario&description=true

[@MrLiesAngeles]

Do you have a video online of how to remove the fuel injectors from The Scrambler? Can't find one online. I imagine I am not the only one who would like to clean them after a winter or inactivity. Thank you.

[@tinks43]

Simple stuff nobody should be scared of. Have a good one!

[@Moonfleet41]

You too buddy, chat in the week, hugs to the family! D&Px

[@loddude5706]

In days of old, when four-star sold & two quid filled the tank, it was just that, an empty vessel, from which your milage drank; no inner filters, no pumps on board, just a hole up near it's bum, into which a brass thing screwed, & was called a 'tap' by some. This rattling mess, meant to address, fuel leakage from above, was always loose & dribbled juice, upon your probing glove. 'Got enough petrol? . . . 'Smells like it - onward!' . . . Ah, progress eh? - where motoring now smells of fabric softener, Lynx, or that 'flowery' Pledge you found in the kitchen. Have a great w/e : )xx

[@Moonfleet41]

Wonderful standards from the lyrical gangsta! Have a great weekend!

[@howder1951]

How far new have come, fuel injection a pumps gauge and a filter along with a gas reminder on the GPS. Very far from running up to reserve and having to source and install your own filter system.

[@klein2614]

Hi Del, May I confirm the bolt torque while we tight the plate back?

[@mst10506]

What kind of fuel pressure is that system running? Are those spring clips able to keep the hoses connected? My BMW runs about 43 PSI and the hoses are held on tightly with fuel injection clamps, or from the factory with oetiker clamps.

[@nsoul8469]

I reckon my 20 year old Speed Triple needs a new filter, to my knowledge it has never been changed! Just added it to my maintenance list :)

[@MintyGusto]

Another one you made look so effortless! Brilliant video and great to see the fuel system inside the tank getting some love. Didn't realise how much dirt and grit would build up in that screen though.... I may have to go exploring on my FJR now! Have a cracking weekend both of you and stay safe! Just back from bike night and a day out on the FJR which is why response is so late!

[@Moonfleet41]

Glad you had a great evening and safe ride today, enjoy your weekend buddy!

[@kmattar]

How were the hoses? I thought they recommend replacement every 4 years.

[@garethburningham9467]

I was a bit behind so I I've watched your last three videos o the bounce. Good results all round mate.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks 👍

[@richardplantagenet8090]

Last Tuesday I was thinking whatever happened to the electric wrench. Odd coincidence.

[@Moonfleet41]

Still lurking in the garage buddy!

[@richardclark716]

Thanks Del, this is the most straight forward video I have seen to change the fuel filter. Please do more like this.

[@abeltriumph5057]

Great work Del. Very informative. You have gave me a great heads up on the work it involves. I think when the tank is off I need to replace the rocker cover gasket. Seems to be weeping very slowly on hot days. Bet it’s the same to replace every two years.

[@renzovc]

Great maintenance tip brother ! I don't know but I have always struggled pumping gas out from tanks lol i tried different pumps and failed miserably 😂 I might just ended up removing the pump and drain the old fuel out ! Keep up the great work brother 👍 stay safe guys cheers from new york 🎉🎉🎉

[@Moonfleet41]

Was suprised to see how much dirt there was on the second filter Del had that built up in just 2 years? Again excellent tutorial 👍

[@garywoodward6750]

Great vid! Is this the same process for a Speed Twin? I'm having mine resprayed, would i need to remove?

[@iamcaferacer]

Can you hand tighten back up or do you recommend to buy a torque wrench to get it to 10nm

[@Moonfleet41]

It's not the amount of torque that is critical here.. yes, anyone can tighten to 10Nnm.. but can you be sure to get them all exactly the same...for instance, if some are only 9, and others are maybe 12.. then that imbalance will mildly distort the plate, and under pressure it will leak fuel... it's critical that they must all be exactly the same !

[@natvega1]

Makes me wanna buy a Scrambler, Kawasaki has a filter built into the pump housing that can not be replaced, it gets dirty at 3,000 miles and the bikes starts sputtering at low rpm, the pump cost $600 USD. SO you must invent ways to clean the high pressure built in filter.😢 I use an oscillating tool as an ultrasonic cleaner, 20,000 OPM cleans the filter very well every 3,000 miles or else😢😢😢😢😢.

[@Moonfleet41]

My word, I've never heard that, sounds like a little oversight on Kawasaki's part not to make something servicable when it needs cleaning so often... sounds like you've made a great solution to it!
