Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / September 2006Filter for fuel and carby
The bane of my life is finding that very fine gauze used to keep muck out of fuel. I use 'er at 'omes discarded panty hose as a poor substitute. So you helpful Poms, where can I buy a sheet, roll or whatever of suitable gauze ? DN > The bane of my life is finding that very fine gauze used to keep muck > out of fuel.

Some of the finest filters available are soft tee shirt material.I filter all fuel 3 times before filling my 5 litre field tank and that is it - end of story and rare carby blockages.Maybe I can pass on a few more tips at Currency Creek sometime. signed I.Spie > > The bane of my life is finding that very fine gauze used to keep muck > > out of fuel.

SNIP>> Ok Fiddle Fingers - got to admit the Poms do have their finer parts when it comes to this hobby/sport. Where else can I ask such questions? The Idle Times can't tell me ...

You DO know that fishnet tights, whilst being rather attractive "sports wear", make less than efficient filters? Perhaps you should go to the shop yourself and buy some of the finest weave panty hose or stockings that you can find. Apparently fella's can do that these days without getting eyebrows raised at them with knowing nods, sideways glances and whispers. I've not personally put this to the test though! One pair would probably last you a seriously long time as a supply of filter raw material, although any other form of experimentation may considerably reduce the service life of the items!!

Why didn't you tell me at the field you electric shocking nut case??? :-) See you Tuesday? DN |
