| Subject: | Re: Oil filter inspection |
When I check filters during annuals this is what I do.
I cut the filter element out like everyone else. I then place it in a small jar
that has about 1/3 full of gas. I shake it for a moment or two. All carbon, metal
or whatever falls out to the bottom. I remove the element and check it. At
this point it is usually clean. I then pour the gas in the jar out through a
coffee filter. All contaminates are left behind for you to see. You can see everything
that the filter stops. Carbon or metal flakes and can identify most
things. If you only open the filter element when you cut it out of the can it
is very easy not to see things as it gets disguised.
