Default Gas filter with the sediment bulb.

What are you fellows using as a gas filter with the sediment bulb
at the tank?

Thanks, Bill

In my car I'm using a disposable filter that came from Snyder's. You got two in your order and they dropped into the glass bowl. I have the second one in now but I don't see them in their catalog any more. They have something that goes in the bowl now but is like 43 bucks. Don't know if it's worth it.

It’s a NAPA 3039 or WIX. 33039. All the same. Been using them for years in my A glass bowl.

I use the glass bulb and pencil filter. So far so good. Double protection.

Use the original fine brass screen that Henry called for (and the pencil filter).

Still porous enough to let carb clogging crud through that has formed in the tank in the 90+ years that have gone by since Henry built it.
