Shai,
This group, on the database page, has a bunch of filters that fit.  Take a look.

iirc: All big block fuel filters are metal (no plastic), and interchange with the stock small block, plastic & metal filters. The fuel filter on my 3 series was swollen at 700 mi. Would it leak? Ever? What's the point of waiting?   R3~

The cheapest I've seen lately-- Mahle KL 145 Shop used to get them for $12 years ago

Guzzitech has them: https://gtmotocycles.com/products/all-metal-in-tank-fuel-filters?_pos=6&_sid=225dd4fec&_ss=r

The oetiker clamps that came with mine were a little too small.

Mine is 2013 Stone. Do you have to use oetiker clamps and if so is there another way to crimp them without having to buy the tool?

I know that some use the regular screw-type hose clamps, some kits include both types. I have also read quite a few posts where people say you should definitely use the oeticker clamps. The tool can be had for pretty cheap(GC), from what I understand.

Anyone who has the half plastic filter fitted should get it changed for an all metal ne, as it will likely fail. Guzzi should never have fitted them. According to Mahle Customer Services, the half plastic KL150 filter was designed to work with diesel fuel, not what we use.

When I replaced mine on the Norge I used screw hose clips, this sort https://media.rs-online.com/t_large/R9089061-01.jpg not the worm drive type.
Get the size to fit the OD of the fuel pipe.
Not had any problem since.

hi all
first thanks for all the answers
what size of  hose clamps do i need ,for a v7 iii? 1/4 "  5/16  or 3/8 "
the original filter is called mahle 145 ,i dont think that guzzitech sell it,but something else
maybe i will go to the dealer and ask for a big block filter,ant one knows the part number?

Some need spoon-feeding - a non exhaustive list: Triumph - T1240850 / AC GF61 / BMW - 16 14 2 325 859 / Fleetguard FF149 / Fram G2 and G3802 / Knecht Mahle KL145 / Motocraft FG-2 / Napa Gold 3032 / Purolator - F20011 / Wix 33032 / Mann MWK 44 / Deutsch FF424.

I've seen what the normal hose clamps as in foggy' s post do to fuel hoses in the long term - they cut the softer fuel hoses. I use clamps designed for fuel hose, in stainless, with rolled edges, and a protective flap under the screw..

The size of the clamps depends upon the size of the hose you use. These are those I use for the Gates SAE 30R10. Doubtless there are others around.

I have been running a Mahle 145 and FI clamps in the 10-12mm range for the last 6000 miles on my V7III.

You can go to NAPA, Advance Auto, etc and buy a cheap tool called 'CV Joint Boot Clamp Tool' and it works great on these 'stepless ear clamps' or Oetiker clamps

I purchased mine from Amazon
