In tank fuel filter obsolete? What to do?

[nick5oh]

I know I could find some universal inline filters to back up the in tank but what about an intake filter?whats everyone using since oem is obsolete?

 

[YAMMIEGOD3:16]

So you have gotten an aftermarket filter that fits a vmax 4? What brand? Part number?

 

[YAMMIEGOD3:16]

must be lawn and garden because i tried three auto parts stores. 3:16x (yammie tony)

oh....vmax 4, thought you were talking about the other sleds.

 

[shaggyzr2]

Couldn't you just use two small in tank filters like the ones ski doo and polaris uses instead of the one?

royal distributing should have a replacement. ive seen them in the catalogue

Looks like royal doesn't have them, just the srx type filter.

 

[nick5oh]

Yeah after checking partzilla I checked royal and didn't see a listing. Phoned dealer today and he's gonna see what he has and what he can get. I will report back when I find out.

What? Is that the type of filter in question? Then you might just buy the
original Yamaha say for a pro action sled and it is not out of stock:

I guess me being in the srx forum all the time has people confused. I posted this in the vmax 4 forum cause I'm talking about a vmax4 fuel filter. Sorry guys should have clarified lol!
Anyways the vmax4 filter is obsolete. It has 2 outlets on it due to the fact the sled has 2 fuel pumps. That other filter fits pretty much every sled known to man lol. It fits all of our other sleds exciter, Phazers, xlvs, and the srx. Vmax 4 Is the oddball

Like shaggyzr2 , can't you just use two regular filters?
maybe wire them together also so one wont suck air while the other sucks gas (if you tank is almost empty). Are those "legs" of #13 stiff or just pieces of hoses?

Just spitballin. How about a 2 into 1 hose barb.

Or

Replace the drop down fuel hose(the one going through the splash guard) for a longer one that reaches to the bottom of the tank. Put an L hose barb fitting on each one of them.

Will 2 into 1 still provide enough fuel flow at high rpm?

 

[norwegian]

I see now that the "legs" are just fuel hoses, that makes everything easier, just use two regular filters then at the end, with longer fuel hoses and possibly some fittings.

 

[shaggyzr2]

Just use two of these.https://www.denniskirk.com/water-sports-mfg/screened-in-tank-fuel-pickup-30265.p1827.prd/1827.sku

 

[nick5oh]

all these suggestions are very much appreciated. didn't know barbed fittings came in soo many configurations! good to know!
worried about leaning out at high rpm with a "y" fitting though. for those that don't know, this sled comes with the old school splash tube style fuel filter housing. its a plastic pipe around the filter. I wouldn't be able to use this with 2 filters. I guess I could run two longer hoses to the bottom of the tank with elbow fittings and just have them sitting on the bottom of the tank like newer sleds (srx/viper/sx)??? will they interfere with sending unit lever/float?

 

[norwegian]

Can you get a picture of the splash tube housing thing? I don't know with a v-max 4 but on an srx, it won't normally interfere with it, unless you make the hose go over and behind the float.
