The reserve side filter is always as clean as it was when new. Believe me, my tank is clean and it will be so. Raimo OH-XRT from Suomi ----- Original Message ----- From: Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2009 8:32 PM Subject: Re: Europa-List: Safety improvement list Raimo Remember that the reserve side will be the most likley to recieve any contaminant since that is where the filler is, so......... should there ever be a major contaninant event when you switch to reserve it just may not be quite so ready to provide fuel.

This is the only way to be sure. I do not believe visual check of Purolator sis good enough . Some debris is invisible when wet with fuel, bits of polythene tank swarf for example. regards Graham ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 07:00:58 AM PST US From: "Raimo Toivio" Subject: Re: Europa-List: Safety improvement list > Raimo > I assume you always filter fuel as it enters the tank?
