Re: Alternative Needle Packing Washers?

Chinewalker, your cotton string comment brought back days of yore memories.
Almost every gas or deisel-driven device had a glass bowl fuel filter with a
shut off valve. Invariably, those would be found packed with string and grease
when you opened them up. Worked very well. It wasn’t the cost, it was the distance
to the dealer and the lost time, in most cases.
