Hi All, I started to do my 61mm bbk upgrade. Today I just removed all paneling and while at it I figure let me remove the rest of my EGR since the intake manifold I got has the EGR delete. Anyway it was half off already only part left was the part that went from the gas tank to whatever that big plastic thing is. I removed the Big plastic thing which had two rubber hoses coming out of it. One went to the air box, the other to the air\fuel line i guess for the tank to breath so gas can come out from the bottom. The Air box line I will just close off and I am good to go, however the one coming out of the gas tank am I supposed to add a fuel filter? It has something there already but not sure what it is. here is a pic: if I need a fuel filter, what is suggested? I wanted something that will last, is the below suitable? www.ebay.com/itm/181754236605Thank you

When I did the egr delete on my scooter, I just left the tube hooked to that like it is, and have had no problems with it leaking. It is basically a vent for the gas tank that went to the charcoal canister (Big plastic thing). If you overfill your tank there is a chance of gas coming out of it. As for the type of filter if you go that route, any filter would work. It is just there in the case of the tank being overfilled and gas going down the vent tube. To keep the gas from escaping, and to allow the tank to be vented. Also if your gas cap is vented you may be able to just cap the tube off not needing the vent.

LOL GEORGE that is supper expensive for a fuel filter... I thought you would have suggested the NCY In-line Fuel Filter I was hoping whatever is attached to it is already a fuel filter and I did not have to do anything. keikara you are right, but for peace of mind I will have to add something that lets air in only without letting any fuel out. I actually tried drilling a hole out of my cap already but not sure if it does anything.. hahaha

I would find one that's just about the same just less expensive. I agree about not letting fuel out, but let the air in. Also I would never leave it open . its just asking for bugs to enter the tank.

Cap that vent hose and drill a 1/16" hole in the middle of the gas cap for venting (actually to prevent vacuum lock preventing gas flow).

I already replaced my gas cap with a vented one. I should be good to go then. I will just seal it off and see how that works.
Thank you!!
