Replacing fuel filter, oem or aftermarket??

[hamlin]

As the title states, have any of you been using spi or other aftermarket fuel filters? I tried spi three years ago on my wife’s 600 pro and the line burst while test riding it around the yard soaking the engine in gas. I am looking at aftermarket because we have two pros and two axys in the shed now and at $150 each it hurts to pay that much for a few filters. Thanks for your input!

Oem all the way. Period just pay for quality not worth junk aftermarket
2013 Polaris 600 Rmk 1500 miles changed filter to spi. Sled sputtered and hesitated multiple times multiple days after installing.
Bought Polaris. Installed it sled ran absolutely perfect!

Axys has no filter just the socks on the pump.

I also didn't like the pro -ride spi filters... one bend.wasn't right and put pressure on the pump outlet, ended up going OEM

I had a 2013 pro. I used a few SPI filters with luck. One did not work leaking fuel everywhere just after a crimp.

Thanks for the help. Guess I’ll just stick with oem. It’s probably worth the peace of mind.

again, from post above... AXYS fuel filter is not really a "service item"

Sure, you can replace #10, but it is not like the old inline units.
Part number 2205618
It is a lot cheaper at $56 though for the oem.

3-4 yrs of SPI filters installed each fall, on each of three Pro's. No problems.

Best upgrade for the PRO is to install the AXYS sock in the tank.

What is involved in the swap? Just the sock, or complete module? Thanks

Just the sock and replace the line that has the filter with parts from NAPA and your Polaris dealer.
I did a thread on it last year.
