TrickLidz Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Quick Question. Recommended service interval for the fuel filter? I assume it's IN the tank? Aftermarket part number? I don't see the info in Jim's DVD. TIA 'Lidz Link to comment
Ken H. Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 On the R1200RT there is not a true fuel filter. There is a mesh screen on the bottom of the fuel pump pickup assembly, but it is not a separate user replaceable part. Link to comment
SageRider Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 On the R1200RT there is not a true fuel filter. There is a mesh screen on the bottom of the fuel pump pickup assembly, but it is not a separate user replaceable part. There IS a filter in addition to the screen. It is integrated into the fuel pump. There is no scheduled maintenance interval for the filter as it is supposed to be a lifetime filter. There is a procedure for replacement in the BMW shop manual. (The filter basically unscrews from the pump.) Link to comment
TrickLidz Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 Thanx, guys. One less thing to worry about (maybe).... Off to NY, VT, NH. Link to comment

smiller Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Recommended service interval for the fuel filter? Judging from what you read on the forum it's either so frequent that you need to re-engineer and install an external filter (as on the oilheads), or... never. Love it. Link to comment
