yes im using one but still... or is this something to do with my air filter? i guess not i think.. because air from the air filter goes directly to the combustion, right?

"Fuel filter" not air filter bro.

Tank replacement pag sira, cleaning lang pag madumi. Pero mukhang facrication ng tangke plano mo?

Kung surplus, parehas lang din yun. Kaibahan, nalinis na nga lang.

Tungkol sa fuel filter, para makasiguro ko mag serries ka pa ng isa para double filter ang mangyari.

yep .. hehe.. im pretty much aware with fuel and air filter paps.. hehe... just trying to put an emphasis that air from air filter would not populate the bowl of the carb with dirt, right? cause air goes directly to the combustion chamber...

is it safe to do a series fuel filter? di kaya ma overwork ang injection pump?

Safe naman yan, provided mas malaki yung filter para mas maka bwelo yung pump.

maybe a better quality fuel filter will do the job. just my 2 cents.

i had my tank taken out and cleaned. maraming sediments. tapos nung ibinalik ko, pinalagyan ko ng fuel filter. service centers sa mga gasolinahan can do it for about 800-1k.
