When I first took the tank off the fuel filter was loose inside it and rattling about. I subsequently bought a new one which would not fit as the entry hole in the bottom of the tank was too small. I couldn't make out how the filter had got in there to start with, gave up and tried an external filter. By the way the bike came with a tiny in line cheapo plastic filter so someone else must have come to the same conclusion. Anyway today, for no particular reason, I offered up the new filter that came with the replacement fuel tap and noticed it had exactly the same dimensions as the sleeve inside the hole at the tank entry. Aha! Was the sleeve an old ferrule from the base of the loose filter? Only one way to find out. A few minutes with an oversize tap and hey presto out it came and the new one fits.. Great.
