Hero Genuine Fuel Pump Filter for Glamour FI/XTEC, Passion Pro/XTEC & Xtreme 160R / Hunk 160R | Petrol Pump Filter Element | 16701AAC801S

Hero Genuine Fuel Pump Filter – 16701AAC801S

Protect the fuel-injection system with the Hero Genuine Fuel Pump Filter, part number 16701AAC801S. This filter component is installed within the compatible fuel-pump assembly and helps prevent dust, debris and fuel-borne contamination from reaching the injector and other sensitive fuel-system components.

A restricted, contaminated, damaged or incorrectly fitted fuel-pump filter can reduce fuel flow and contribute to hesitation, weak acceleration, inconsistent engine operation, difficult starting or increased strain on the electric fuel pump. Replacing the correct filter during fuel-pump service helps maintain clean and consistent fuel delivery when filter restriction is the confirmed cause.

This is the fuel-pump filter only. It is not the complete electric fuel-pump unit, fuel injector, pressure regulator, fuel-level sensor, fuel hose, O-ring, pump gasket, setting plate or complete fuel-tank assembly.

Official Hero Model-Family Applicability

• Hero Glamour — compatible fuel-injected variants using 16701AAC801S
• Hero Passion Pro / Passion XTEC — compatible fuel-injected variants using 16701AAC801S
• Hero Xtreme 160 / Xtreme 160R — compatible fuel-injected variants using 16701AAC801S
• Hero Hunk 160R / Hunk Stealth 160R — compatible export-market variants using 16701AAC801S

Compatibility boundary: A similar model name does not confirm the same fuel-pump filter. Carburettor models, different fuel-pump generations and later or export-market variants may use another filter or complete pump assembly.

Fitment Note / Return Prevention Note

Before ordering, match the complete Hero part number 16701AAC801S or catalogue number 16701-AAC-801 with the motorcycle’s chassis/VIN-based Hero parts catalogue and existing fuel-pump assembly.

Confirm all of the following:

• Exact motorcycle model, variant and production generation
• Fuel-injected configuration
• Existing electric fuel-pump assembly part number
• Filter shape, mounting point and connection design
• Fuel-pump O-ring and gasket condition
• Whether the filter is available separately for that pump generation
• Part number printed on the original packaging, invoice or catalogue

Do not order this filter for an older carburettor motorcycle merely because the bike is named Glamour, Passion or Xtreme. Carburettor models do not use the same in-tank fuel-injection pump arrangement.

Do not confuse this product with:

• 16700-series — complete electric fuel-pump unit assemblies
• 16702-series — fuel-pump O-rings or related sealing components
• 17572-series — model-specific fuel-pump gaskets
• 17507-series — setting plates used with certain pump assemblies
• Fuel injector, pressure regulator, fuel-level sender or external fuel hose

Fuel starvation or poor engine performance can also be caused by contaminated fuel, a weak electric pump, restricted injector, faulty pressure regulator, damaged wiring, poor electrical supply, blocked tank vent, kinked hose, incorrect fuel pressure or ECU/sensor faults. Replacing the filter alone will not repair an unrelated fuel-system problem.

Fuel-system return protection: Match the SKU and pump assembly before opening or installation. Parts showing fuel exposure, installation marks, damaged clips, modification or use cannot be treated as unused returns.

Technical Details

Installation Note

Fuel-pump servicing should be performed by a trained motorcycle technician in a clean, well-ventilated work area away from flames, sparks and other ignition sources.

Before installation:

• Switch off the ignition and disconnect the battery according to the service procedure
• Drain or reduce the fuel level safely where required
• Clean the area around the fuel-pump mounting flange before opening the tank
• Compare the old and new filter part numbers and mounting design
• Inspect the complete pump assembly for contamination or damage
• Inspect the pump O-ring, gasket and setting plate
• Replace damaged seals with the exact model-specific components

During fitting:

• Do not touch the clean side of the filter with dirty hands or tools
• Do not crush, bend, puncture or force the filter into position
• Secure every clip and connection correctly
• Keep dirt, water, cloth fibres and sealant out of the fuel tank
• Do not use unsuitable adhesive or sealant inside the fuel system

After reassembly, add clean petrol, switch the ignition on according to the service procedure, check pump priming and inspect carefully for fuel leakage. Do not start or ride the motorcycle if there is any leak, strong fuel smell or abnormal pump operation.

Buyer-Focused FAQs

10. Does it fit carburettor Glamour, Passion or Xtreme models?
No compatibility is claimed for carburettor variants. This filter is for the specified electronic fuel-injection pump assemblies.

11. Is the fuel-pump O-ring included?
No. The pump O-ring is a separate sealing component and must be ordered according to the exact motorcycle and pump assembly.

12. Is the fuel-pump gasket included?
No. Fuel-pump gaskets are separately catalogued and can vary by model generation.

13. When should the fuel-pump filter be replaced?
Replace it when a technician confirms restriction, contamination, physical damage or another condition requiring replacement during fuel-pump service. No universal replacement interval is being claimed.

14. Can a blocked filter cause poor acceleration?
A restricted filter can reduce fuel flow and contribute to hesitation or weak performance, but the pump, injector, regulator, wiring and engine-management system must also be diagnosed.

15. Will a new filter repair a weak fuel pump?
No. A worn or electrically weak pump may still require complete pump replacement even after the filter is changed.

16. Can the old filter simply be washed and reused?
Follow the model-specific service procedure. Do not use aggressive chemicals, compressed air or cleaning methods that can damage the filter media or introduce contamination.

17. Is professional installation recommended?
Yes. Fuel-system work involves petrol vapour, electrical connections, tank sealing and leak risk.

18. How can I prevent ordering the wrong filter?
Match the full SKU, exact fuel-injected model and generation, complete fuel-pump assembly, filter shape, mounting point and chassis/VIN-based Hero catalogue.

Fuel-System Purchase Warning

Confirm the part number and pump assembly before opening or fitting. Do not install the filter merely for trial. Fuel exposure, damaged clips, contamination, modification or installation marks can permanently affect the component and invalidate return eligibility.
