• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

$2500 fuel filter

When I ordered an air filter also ordered a fuel filter, thankfully they rang and told me it's $2500. Just getting my kit together for my biggest adventure, filters, minimum tools and gear to fix the things I can on the road. Now according to my dealer the filter and pump is as one and not serviceable, I have concerns about getting a crook load of fuel which is common in the remote areas of OZ. So to strain the rust and particles a neck filler sock will be needed but there is no drain on the bottom of the tank to drain off $2.60/ Litre water. Not keen on drilling a hole in the plastic tank. Any thoughts.
 
Thinking outside the square, what if you installed a fuel/water separator/filter between the fuel pump & injector hose (16)? I'm sure that Husqvarna would advise against this and you'd have to make sure that pressure drop wasn't excessive. Most FI cars have an external filter after the submersible pump so the principle is similar.

Good grief, $2500 for a fuel pump assembly? I bought a spare for my WRR and it was about $200 US, including the filter. So the ass'y is about 2275 US +/-. Is that because it's a BMW product?

$301.35 US. I'm not sure where that number came from, must be freight!

Get a threaded insert plastic welded into the bottom of the tank. They will let you know if it's safe to do on a tank that's had petrol in it.
