Re: ’48 Merc KE4 Tank filter?

[richardg]

I reuse the brass fitting but I make up filter elements out of brass/copper screening that I roll up around a drill bit and the solder the seam. I then use JB weld to hold it in place.

I do use a inline filter for a time until I am pretty sure the tank is really clean.

I fill the tank through a funnel with a screen in it to prevent more junk from entering the tank.

After each use I also siphon the tank empty and let it go into my portable tank through the funnel with a screen.

Pretty soon the tank is squeaky clean and then I rely on the home made in tank filter.
