Bob, yes I did that on purpose and it seems to work good.
Chuck I don't run filters on my planes. I use a felt type filter on the pickup in my gas can as well as an inline filter on the filler hose going to the plane. So far I haven't had any problems with gunk building up in my carb screen. That's not saying it won't happen. But so far it has been working for me.

Doug,
I was doing the same as you and got gunk in the screen. I also put a "crap trap" on the vent line because someone posted about getting dirt up the vent line from an unpaved runway. Cheap insurance for me.
