I WON'T use MICRO-FILTERS, as I'm quite sure the fine powder WOULD plug them up! (OH! & a magnet WILL NOT pick up the powder, they WILL pick up rust FLAKES, though!) I'll flush the tank as best I can, & use the little stainless "pencil" filter in the top of my fuel valve, & HOPE FOR THE BEST!!! Bill W.
I agree with you on the type of powder, Looks to fine to plug a carb, but playing hell on my glass inline filter. It really building up in there. going to test a magnet on it to see what this stuff is.
