Fast change of fuel filter on Magnum 300 By mike6736 (Read 877 times)

If you do not want to tear all the skin off the Magnum you can drain the tank down just from the fuel line off the vacuum pump, about 1 gallon of gas will come out if near full. Pop the fuel line at the 2 hold downs on the rear of the tank use surgical clamp, mine is about 14 inches long and pull the hose and filter thru the gas fill opening. You will have to push and guide the filter as the frame will catch it. The short line on the tank will allow you to replace the filter and install a better big filter. The fuel line used on the trike looked good so I left the short section. you can not get to the short line without a lot of tear down but I replaced the run from the filter to the pump. I ran about a cup of gas thur the filter and line befor hooking to pump, than ran about the same thru the pump, wow was I glade I did that. Hope this helps someone....FYI

Yepper replacing any fuel lines with fat meat hooks for hands just ain't easy. Word of caution to all though if you buy a Magnum 300 and you do your own PDI, when you tear the panels off do yourself a favor and replace all the fuel lines and fuel filter and relocate the fuel filter so that you can get to it with tearing the panels off again. Saves heartache later.
