Do not archive 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. Regards, Randy, Las Vegas 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 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:27:09 PM PST US Subject: Zenith701801-List:Re: electric fuel pump behind seat of a 70 From: "kmccune" Thanks for the info!
