as stated below, a chamois,
Main Entry: cham=B7ois
Pronunciation: \'sha-me, sense 1 also sham-'w=E4\
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural cham=B7ois also cham=B7oix \sense 1 'sha-me(z)
or sham-'w=E4(z), senses 2 & 3 'sha-mez\
Etymology: Middle French, from Late Latin camox
1 : a small goatlike bovid (Rupicapra rupicapra) of mountainous regions
from southern Europe to the Caucasus
2also cham=B7my or sham=B7my \'sha-me\ : a soft pliant leather prepared
from the skin of the chamois or from sheepskin
3 : a cotton fabric made in imitation of chamois leather
while lining a funnel, will filter out water and debris. When I was a
float pilot, we had to "jug" fuel down to the lake from our tank on the
strip. We always ran the fuel through a chamois.
It's been a long time, but I recall being told that if water was
filtered out, it should be removed from the chamois quickly as it would
slowly soak into the chamois, wetting a spot which then provided a
channel for water to wick through thus defeating the water filtering
ability of the chamois.
I never had any real water problem in my fuel so maybe others (Gary?)
could comment, agree, disagree, or clarify that this is something one
would watch while using a chamois.
I still have a chamois and the same old funnel in the hanger. Our
airport fueling operation is very clean, but if we have to drain a tank
into jugs, it goes through the chamois when going back in. I keep the
chamois rolled up and stored in a screw top jar (instant coffee type) to
keep it clean when not in use.

Hello Kevin,
Well, is used by pilots here forever... :-) a must for the AG
pilots... This is the chamoise that is made from deer skin (?), works
like those new micromesh black funnels, make a test.
In a funnel atach a chamoise loose inside so the gasoline will
not spill, see how easy will pass trough. then test with a quart of the
same gasoline and add a little amount of water and debris... You can
see how the water and debris will stay in the chamois side of the
funnel, nothing on the fuel.
Here we have a big old galvanized funnel with a chamois rag, can
easy hold about 4 galons of gas. In our aerodrome we dont have gas, so
we bring our own, all goes though the funnel before going to the tank...
For xcountries we take a little black one (about 1 or 2 quarts
capacity) that I brought from a vacation trip (visited Aircraft Spruce
in Corona :-) but is slower and the fuel cans are heavy... :-)
Saludos
Gary Gower
