Unless the metal element is stainless steel it will corrode from water in ethanol fuel. The corrosion will either block the filter or crumble the element. The wire mesh should be OK on the 3/16" filter and should be re-usable. BTW, the weedeater was scrapped and a new one was obtained.
These are porous sintered bronze. Everything else will have gone bad long before the element corrodes away as bronze is VERY corrosion resistant in this application. As these can filter better than a steel mesh, and yet last just as long for any of our applications, I stand by my initial statement. Matt |

Thats OK, you have stuff you want to sell. I have just had porous sintered bronze filters corrode solid before so I can't recommend them. I just try to recommend stuff that does not corrode or deteriorate in the ethanol fuel pump gas that seems to be pushed everywhere.

This can very easily be attained by using wire mesh stainless steel Stainless Steel Wire MeshThe question that I have - what size opening are we trying to achieve when it comes to this application? Do we think 3/16" opening is open enough? Too much? Very hard to say what kind of air intake we are looking for, and not sure how to find out. |
