I'm going to guess if static falls below .2 its going to mess with that paper element filter I have.
I guess I will go to one of those sintered bronze or whatever they are types.
these fuel lines are only 1/4"?

The paper filters work initially, but something causes the paper to seal over, then it takes pressure to break through.

Here's a video on a slightly used filter. In prime, there is no flow. I switch the petcock and still no flow. Then I pressurize the tank, then the fuel starts to flow.




I just got tired of having the big two liter bottle sticking out of the tank while I was riding. Sometimes it would fall off and I'd have to chase after it.

Try these:

Or ones off a lawnmower should work too as they are used in a non pressurized system.
