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 http://alexisparkinn.com/photogaller...2011-30-02.jpg 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. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

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. Paul |

Actually, Gami gives this claim... don't think it was the same as
mentioned in the magazine though... "Paul Sengupta" wrote in message ... 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. |
