Wow. So if you have run ethanol free gas for that many miles and have zero sediment it probably is the ethanol breaking down the coating in other peoples tanks.

Thanks for the info.

Well , I just had a very good dealership experience even though I bought it @ a different dealer ,
My Fury has 7000k and is still under warranty ,
I went in and told them about the fuel filter service bulletin .
Very helpful !
My new filter will be ready and installed tomorrow!!
Great service,
Ps green retainer clip is a bitch-lol
Very little debris in tank after draining
, unsure of filter as its now at the dealer

Honda makes a fuel retainer compressor #07AMF-001A100 to help with that.

I managed with extra long needle nose pliers on the tabs of the fuel joint retainer on top of the fuel pump reservoir. The pliers kept slipping down off the tabs at first so I put shim on top of the fuel reservoir to hold the pliers in position and it worked like a charm. The fuel coupling can be rotated to a convenient position that allows the pliers to square up with the fuel joint retainer tabs.

So they paid for it?

My local dealer only said there was only a service bulletin to advise their techs but wasn't covered by the warranty.

No charge

Nope. Don't know how, especially since Honda doesn't seem to know how to do it in the first place .

You can buy tank liner from a lot of shops.We use it on harleys that shake so bad the get spider cracks in the tanks.Only had one come back because he used acid to clean his tank after getting a load of bad fuel.I think kreem makes a good liner.Check Ebay.
