Re: Mechanical and electric fuel pumps on my X Air

the large gold part at the bottom of this picture is the filter. If you break them open there is a wire mesh filter in their but they are not serviceable, the only way to try and service them is to flush them backwards but I have had mixed results. The fibreglass of the X-Air fuel tank will clog these in record time so you are best to discard this filter and use a serviceable filter which is clear like in the 2nd photograph.....?? you can get these in quarter-inch, 5/16 and 3/8 nipple size and it is important to get the correct one for your fuel hose because a loose one is not a good fit

Mine has a bypass made with a one-way check valve that t's around the pump. It has a small silver filter before the pump and another filer between the tank and the filter pump. I'm not aware of any internal filter and it's not been a problems as of yet for me.
