Tuned and Synch'ed
So, I tackled the fuel filter on my breva last weekend. Glad I did. It only had 13,500 miles on it, but with the ethanol in our fuel here is the states, I did not want to assume all is well. Before starting this project, I spoke the techs over at MPH in Houston (they are 1 mile from my work). Got some good advice. Here is fuel pump assembly after I removed the unit from the fuel tank. I'm guessing this is the OEM filter.
TIPS
Run motor with fuel pump unplugged to drain pressure from fuel line.
High pressure fuel delivery line is tricky to remove. You need to push the line towards red nozzle, and then pinch/compress the connector and the line will slide off the fuel pump nozzle. (There is a YouTube video that shows this).
Hose clamps can be reused, but you need to slowly open then by wiggling a small screwdriver into the clamping mechanism. It is a VERY tight fit. Pic attached of clamp.
Go slow and be careful. If you break the delivery nozzle (the red nozzle) you get the privelige of buying a whole new assembly.
