Thanks for your reply. #8 is a steel 1/8″ pipe. Not likely there was
a screen inside the pipe, but perhaps in the tank.
The tank has been soaking overnight in phosphoric acid,
so hopefully It’s cleaning up.

I am not an expert on these motors but part 8 looks to be a filter screen.

I would be very surprised if it was pressed in as I’ve never heard of it.

If there is a lot of corrosion in the tank it’s probably just stuck with corrosion.

After you’ve cleaned anything flammable from the tank, heat and penatrating oil are your friend.

Prepare to be boarded!
