Here's what I have learned. The filter will stop particles so small you can't see them without magnification, even in sunlight. I use a Jewelers Loop to inspect and then clean the screen by gently blowing from the inside out. A surprising amount of fiber strands and tiny particles will remain, mostly near the base. I carefully pick the fibers off with pointed tweezers. In my opinion, it is an excellent design and the best fuel filter available. By carefully locating a hole in the Legacy cowling directly under the Gascolator sump valve (small diameter valve outlet, from AC Spruce) you can slip a 6" length .33 inch OD brass tube up that allows sumping into a inspection cup on pre flight.

You can tell that I have no idea of the injector orifice size! Thanks, Angier Ames N4ZQ -- For archives and unsub http://mail.lancaironline.net:81/lists/lml/List.html
