Wondering how many SxS owners (I have a P500) have installed inline fuel filters.

I installed one on my '05 Rancher after the O-ring in the fuel petcock deteriorated and clogged up the jets in the carburetor. I don't know if that's as big an issue with fuel injection.

Inside the pump there is a built in filter. Adding a second one want do anything but help as long as the flow is good enough.
So far, There have been no reports of one getting clogged up... Even from those that go scuba-diving.
Now, on some of the older Rincon's there was a issue with the fuel pump filter, but nothing recent.

All nice places. I haven't done Mt. Magazine either. I was surprised that Fourche Mountain and Wolf Pen Gap weren't on your list!

Rode Wolf Pen a couple times when I had sport quads, but that's been like 15 years ago. Things I've read, people say it's like riding dirt roads now. Never been to Fourche Mountain. How's it?
