I'd be interested to see what you find. Before I rigged in my
filter as a pour spout for the 6 gal cans, I used to consistently find a
very small amount of gunk and water in it. I'm assuming you're using the
water-absorbing type filter element?


It's not the greatest picture, but you can see the filter I'm using he

BTW, since this pic was taken I've re-routed the plumbing so that the filter
now sets upright, perpendicular to the fuel tank. This allows water to
settle to the bottom of the filter, and be drained out of a petcock valve at
the bottom of the filter.

Never found any yet.

As a bit of an aside here to filtering fuel, I received the latest issue
of Pilot magazine (UK) yesterday and there was a news item in it
saying that a company was developing new fuel injectors so that
you can use mogas in a high compression engine. They diluted some
car petrol with jet fuel to reduce its octane down to about 70 and
the engine still ran fine. They replaced the standard injectors and
the engine promptly self-destructed.

Actually, Gami gives this claim... don't think it was the same as
mentioned in the magazine though...
