Default RE: FUEL FILTERS

ORIGINAL: rwright142

I have a fuel filter on my gallon jug of fuel so the fuel is filtered when I fill up the tank. I don't have one on my planes.
that works as long as you never use your fuel jug to de-fuel the plane because de-fueling adds all the trash (metal wear that comes in with exhaust pressure) to the out side of the filter and then you push all that back into the tank next time you fuel up. i run a filter in line with all my carbs as well as on the fueling system and do my best to run the tank dry and not have to de-fuel.
