Fuel Filter

[Purdy Swoft]

I agree and and take the time to first thoroughly clean my gas tanks. The problem will always be that when the tanks at the gas station get filled, trash at the bottom of their tanks get stirred up and the gas that we get will usually not be completely clean. In any case the stand up filter in the cut off valve is the most important filter for the model A. I even use one in my 31 tudor with the outside cut off valve, it doesn't stand up in that case but does the same job.

Hey Purdy,
Yeah, just for the record...I like to filter everything, but start with a clean tank ! I agree regarding the little filter on the shut off valve (in the tank) is very valuable and also use that. I also use a see thru inline filter just before my 2X2 setup. This one I use just for the reason that you stated...possible stuff from gas station. I never use a gas station while those bulk trucks are unloading for the 'stirring up stuff' possibility. My inline filter has been there for years. I inspect it each/every time before engine operation..still clear. I sympathize with corn gas users troubles...and hey they use our taxes to make the stuff !
