<VV> Fuel Filter Performance

[GYoungwolf@aol.com]

Just a note to those who are using the Purolater type in line fuel filter 
with the glass cylinder and plastic filter inside - they don't seem to work very 
well. I installed one on the family riding mower (because of a less than 
perfect and very old fuel tank) and had to disassemble and clean the carburetor 
twice in 5 hours of mowing. Each time there was trash in the main jet. I could 
see some trash in the filter itself, and some got through. It has a pretty tight 
air cleaning system (prefilter and filter), so it is almost certainly coming 
in via the fuel. So if you have one, I recommend replacement or a backup (or 
at least checking it) if you have a nasty fuel system.
