according to the people down at the building with the victory sign over the door, it is in the right fuel tank, just before the fuel pump. I've got a dead jeep and now I've got to get that runnin' before I tear into the bentley. i also got to do some readin' up on the procedures as it requires pullin' some panels off, and possibly the replacement of some o-rings or gaskets while i'm at it.

tecn manual says 50,000 for replacement, whereas I THOUGHT the owner's manual said 30,000. sorry for spreading bad poop.

Funny, some of the Jeeps fuel filters like my daughters Liberty are attached to the pump in the tank also...darn near drove me nuts trying to find it until I looked in the service manual.

BTW though Vic list a service interval. The filters are NOT available, and not considered seviceable by them selves

Just got a call from the tech at my dealer on the fuel filter. He shared with me that Victory says that it is not a replaceable unit at this time and is working to send out a message to say disregard the interval in the service manual. He also shared they where working on a replaceable unit since it part of the fuel pump, meaning if you the filter is clogged, you have to change the whole pump.

I appreciated that phone call, now I don't have to worry as to whether I have to change the filter and Victory is aware of the misinformation in the manual and is working to get it updated.

Kudos again to Catlin's Kustom Cycles, Chester, Va.
