adding an in line fuel filter

i am going on days of tomorrow and i wanted to add an in line fuel filter to my xj 650. does any one have pics of were and how to do this so i don't mess it up. thank you for any help.

 

i have removed my inline filter.

I have one thats too big to fit beneath the gas tank.
You should have a small filter about 1cm diameter and have an 90 degree outfeed nipple.

Then you are able to fit it between the first and second carb. without resrticting the fuel flow.

My big inline filter (about 2,5 cm diameter) didnt fit under the tank so had it vertically along the first carb, so the outfeed from the filter was looped up to the carb... bike didn't get enough juice to run at higher RPM's...

 

I grabbed a couple of filters from Chacal he has one that fits nicely under the tank and has a 90 degree design so that it also allows the fuel line to run with very little difficulty. Here is the one I picked up:

HCP2734 aftermarket In-Line Fuel Filter, cone-shaped 2" long housing has a clear, see-through housing with a bronze mesh filter. This unit has 90-degree angled inlet and outlet tubes (pointed 90-degrees opposite of each other), which is useful in the "tight-squeeze" conditions that exist under some models! NOTE: the sintered bronze filter element goes TOWARDS the tank....meaning the 90-degree rotated (from the centerline) INPUT nipple (from the tank) is approximately 1" off the centerline of the housing. The entire housing---including the inlet nipple, is about 2" wide, and---including the outlet nipple---is about 2-1/4" long. THIS IS THE MOST POPULAR STYLE TO USE FOR MOST XJ-SERIES BIKES, as the 90-degree turn that the filter inlet/outlet orientation provides serves to minimize the amount of fuel line bends that are necessary to route the fuel line from the petcock to the carb fuel inlet!
