In order to service the fuel filter on your Sportster, you’ll need to drain the fuel tank. Bob demonstrates the best way to do this using a MityVac and a gasoline can. Once you follow his instructions and drain the fuel tank filter, cleaning any dirty parts and tightening any loose bolts, you can refill the tank with fuel and your bike should be good to go.

Thanks for the video.
I don’t have the loctite grease at hand. What would be a good substitute for the Loctite white grease? Is it a lithium based grease?
Thanks,
A.T.
Hi Attila, You can and Loctite makes that as well

Keep it coming, wrrites, this is good stuff.
Can it instead be installed to the detachable rack&/or backrest’s plastic “sliders”? This may make it easier to reduce the amount of excess lube on the grommets. Just a thought.
you might have Denniskirk.com offer a package with Viper lube (or any other products mentioned) and the brush and sell them through a link. Just a thought.
