Fuel Filter Replacement

You underestimate my ability to mess up even the most straightforward process.   

You and me both, brother.

For those interested in replacing the clamps with exact OEM clamps...

There is a site www.liquidiceusa.com they sell the Oetiker clamps and the crimping tool.
If you look at your existing clamp at the crimped area on one side, you will see the size of the clamp. On my Street Fighter it was the 15.7mm. I ended up using a 14.3mm since I had two occasions where my fuel line came off inside the tank... leaving me stranded and pissed.

Using the crimper is a BREEZE! No slipping, one shot, ba dah bing!

A standard screw type band clamp, IMO, does not crimp evenly and is not good for FI use.

The crimp tool is about $20, and bags of 25 clamps are $7.50.
