IN-LINE FUEL FILTER LOCATION?

[Stik]

I discovered this forum a few weeks ago and I can't thank all of you enough for helping me get through a steering cable replacement without any problems. This is my first post and I hope somebody will be willing to help with a few questions.

I have a 2001 Sportster on which I have always done my own preventive maintenance. It has come to my attention that there may be an in-line fuel filter in addition to the spin-on. If this is the case, I have been missing that replacement for all these years. So 2 questions...

(1) Is there an in-line fuel filter on the Sportster?

(2) If so, where is it located?

Thanks for the advice.

On my 2000 there is only the spin-on. I think it's safe to say that if you had an in-line as well you'd know it because it would be clogged by now.

Just follow the fuel line from the motor back to the fuel tank. If for some reason there is a second filter one would assume that it would not be mounted in an inaccessible location.

Thanks for the quick reply. That was the conclusion I had come to as well. I never was able to find an in-line filter between the tank and pump, but wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something! Thanks again.

My 2003 Sporty has one near the tank inside the hull vent in the back. I dont have a spin on one near the engine though. I think you have one or the other, not both, but I might be mistaken.
