unsure what this means.
I would rather get stuck in the woods somewhere that the desert.
fwiw the desert is so varied and vast that it boggles the mind

I think those vent check valve assemblies on the tank are a real problem.

It means if I rode a lot of sand, then I'd run a fuel filter.

Why just sand?

I don't know how stuff gets in the fuel tank. In an ideal world it shouldn't.. but the fuel gets transported here to there and sits in tanks in various places and then through an old pump at old mates servo.. possibly into an old jerry can.. and then into the bike.

Who cares about sand? I'm more concerned about the sediment and impurities from above that sneak past. At home I fill through a filtered funnel, but I don't always fill up at home.

IMO, the chance of things getting past the tank exceed the chance of a filter failing.. and if it's a concern, its nothing that a length of fuel line in the backpack can't fix.

Sheesh. You guys sure are paranoid.

When I ride the sand track, I get sand EVERYWHERE. I literally have sand on my kitchen counter that is from that track. When I stick to the woods, my kitchen is clean. Makes perfect sense. Ha!

I'll wait until I have a carb issue before going back to a fuel filter.

I don't ride desert
But remember what doesn't get stuck in the carb makes it into your engine and will accelerate wear
