I don’t know if there is a pencil filter in my tank or not, but I’ll probably need to replace my fuel shutoff and check on that filter when the weather gets warm. It’s starting to weep just a bit.

I presume my glass sediment bowl has a screen. It seems to be collecting a little bit of dirt. There isn’t much in the bowl yet. I’ve heard they are prone to leaking; so, I’ll probably wait a while before I break it open.

The previous owner installed a carburetor filter, and the filter does collect dirt. I’ve changed it once.
